A number of years ago I shot panoramas/virtual tours of about a dozen Lincoln-related historic sites in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. Also the Surratt Tavern. View them at:

Vicki and I visited the site once in the 1970's, and my memory is extremely vague. I think we ate in a restaurant near Evansville which made the claim Lincoln either ate there or slept there. I could be imagining that, though.

That's not your imagination, Roger. That would be the Log Inn.

Rob,

Thanks for the memories. Now I really am motivated to revisit those sites. Like Bill, I also enjoyed the photo of you by Remembrance Rock in Galesburg.

RE: Lincoln Photos Part 2
Thanks guys.

When I get home I'll post a few more pictures from Galesburg. I gave a speech there a couple of years ago at Sandburg's birthplace.
