Need a little help for an upcoming trip, please!

[Angela]

I had made arrangements to see “Lincoln the Communicator” in Pittsfield, IL , meet up with some friends to talk and also added on a short trip for a young lady that otherwise would not be able to see the ALPLM.

The concert/event was cancelled yesterday and all the people who planned to attend from the area aren’t coming anymore.

I’ll still be in Pittsfield to meet them on Sunday and take them to Springfield but am now lacking a proper itinerary for Saturday.

I have already been to Beardstown.

Was told Quincy is worth a visit (how much time do I need there?)

And also – is there something else in the area you’d recommend to see?

Flying in to Chicago on Friday, arriving in the afternoon.

I can’t reschedule the hotel in Pittsfield (Saturday to Sunday) for it would make me look like an unsteady ogre from abroad with no clear destiny.

Basic dates are: Arrive in Chicago on Friday afternoon, free time till Sunday morning in Pittsfield; Sunday spent in Springfield, back to Chicago on Monday for flight back.

ANY suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!
