Springfield Tour

[Gene C]

Less than a month till the Springfield Tour, with a little extra emphasis this year on some of the small cemeteries near New Salem where many of the people are buried who were influential in Lincoln's life. Joe has gathered lots of info on these special people. Since my wife is not overly interested in cemeteries, she may be taking the credit cards on her own special tour of the retail establishments in the area.

The nearby town of Petersburg, where many of the cemeteries are located, is an interesting place in itself. It's full of history. For many years, it used to be a stop over spot during the winter months for a traveling circus. Also lots of nice looking Victorian homes. All this and more.....
