RE: Springfield Tour
Bill you were quick on the draw to view the pictures. We have edited this post three times to try to get it right.

RE: Springfield Tour
Gene,
My e-mail box filled up when you sent pics so I did not get to see all of them until now. Thanks for posting all of them on the site. They are fantastic! Joe |

RE: Springfield Tour
Thank you, Gene, for sharing these wonderful pictures! Is the dog of one of you or is it a "New Salem employee"?

RE: Springfield Tour
Eva,
Thanks for asking. She's doing OK. Her appetite is back and she can navigate through the house pretty well as well as outside. Of course, we can't let her out without her leash, but we never did that anyway.

But this year it was also unsettling. The interior of the tomb is in desperate need of repair. Where Lincoln's body lies, the trim around the alcove is in desperate need of painting and the ceiling of the front area of the tomb is falling. How the state of Illinois let it get into the shape it's in is unfathomable. I guess we were lucky to view the tomb when we did. Could not find any updated news articles since this one on when repairs will start. According to this article, work to repair the tomb was to begin the week before we visited. While we were there, no sign that work had started. As far as I know, they still haven't started the repairs yet. http://wmay.com/wmay-news/66775 So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Springfield Tour
We were pretty lucky Gene. According to the article- the tomb was supposed to have been closed during our time there.

RE: Springfield Tour
Well, at least it was in the process of being repainted and wasn't going to be left that way. Makes me feel a little better.
