Springfield, Illinois - Home of Lincoln

The grounds are beautifully kept

Downtown Springfield, Illionois

Michael takes off his hat in respect, at the entrance of the  Lincoln Memorial

If I had a hat, I'd take it off!

Behind me is Lincoln's home when we was a practicing attorney, prior to and during to his presidency.

This setting is very much as it was when Lincoln & his family lived there in the 1800s.

Here's Lincoln's hat, hanging up in his home's foyer.

An authentic tea set of the time, though it wasn't the Lincoln family's actual tea set
