One More Day of Vacation

Sunday, June 23, 2019

We really were not done with Illinois.  Having to go home is very discouraging but we did decide to get in one more day.  We went back to Springfield to visit the Springfield Union Station.

Model of horse-drawn hearse used with Lincoln's Funeral Train.

Just a chat with Mr. Lincoln.

Race Riot Memorial (1908(

We then crossed the street to the Lincoln Museum.  We didn't have time on our first visit to see this exhibit.

Image of Lincoln lying in state.

These are just a few of the exhibits.  This is a wonderful Museum.

After the morning at the Lincoln Museum, we took in a few more Route 66 and other Lincoln sights.
