Logical guess, Gene, but Garfield was actually the 6th.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 12-16-2023 01:17 PM

Thaddeus Stevens

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-16-2023 02:12 PM

Good job, Joe! Yes, it was Thaddeus Stevens in 1868.

For anyone interested in the entire list:

Abraham Lincoln

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-27-2023 07:49 AM

Very good, Mike! It's the cottage at 214 South Fourth Street in Springfield where the Lincolns lived for a short time when Robert was a baby. The family rented the cottage in the fall of 1843 and stayed there until May 1844 when they moved into the home at Eighth and Jackson. The rent for the cottage was $100 a year.

Where is the U.S. Grant Presidential Library located?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-27-2023 10:05 AM

Would it be in Illinois?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 12-27-2023 10:27 AM

Sorry, but negative.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 12-27-2023 10:51 AM

Mississippi?

Best

YES!!!! Great job! Starkville, on the campus of MSU, alongside the Frank and Virginia collection of Lincoln memorabilia (which I think was the largest private collection in the world at one time) It's an outstanding dual collection and I am so grateful that the deep South has this to enjoy.

A person frequently mentioned on this forum slept in this bed. Who was it?

Mary Lincoln when she was in Bellevue.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-09-2024 01:13 PM

Excellent, Eva. Yes, this is Mary Lincoln's bed. It was in her room when she was at Bellevue Place in 1875. Nowadays it's at the Depot Museum in Batavia, Illinois.
