I am sorry, Bill and Roger, but it's not New York or West Virginia.

Hint #1: Abraham Lincoln did visit this state but not as President.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 10-05-2017 08:17 AM

Scenery looks more like New England to me - did he ever travel that far north? I know he visited Niagara Falls several times, but I don't count that as New England.
Massachusetts? Maybe Wisconsin?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017 08:44 AM

I am sorry, Laurie, but it's not Massachusetts or Wisconsin.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 10-05-2017 09:51 AM

Missouri?

Vermont?
Apparently Old Abe liked hanging out down by the river. Here he is again.

Oregon

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017 11:40 AM

I am sorry, Steve, Darrell, and Bill, but it's not Missouri, Vermont, or Oregon.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017 11:40 AM

Hint #2: Two of the guesses so far are states that have a common border with the correct answer.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 10-05-2017 11:48 AM

Iowa, or possibly New Jersey?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017 12:10 PM

I am sorry, Steve, but it's not Iowa or New Jersey.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017 12:11 PM

Hint #3: Robert Lincoln spent time in this state.

I feel certain I can answer this question - if you'll just allow me 39 more chances.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 10-05-2017 12:48 PM

Massachusetts - ( ie chance #38)

RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 10-05-2017 02:01 PM

New Hampshire, where Robt. attended school?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017 02:20 PM

Excellent, Joe! Indeed it's New Hampshire where Robert attended Phillips Academy in Exeter before going to Harvard.

The photo was taken in Peterborough. The river is the Contoocook River. Lincoln was never in Peterborough, and his time in New Hampshire was prior to his growing a beard. Thus, the figure in the photo is not Lincoln.

This was a tough one - kudos, Joe.
