An Affectionate Farewell: Lincoln’s Last Days in Springfield

On the morning of February 11, 1861, Abraham Lincoln looked out upon many of his rain soaked Springfield friends and neighbors from the back of a train car. He gave a brief, emotional speech and then departed for Washington DC. He would not live to see Springfield again. The story of Lincoln’s final days in Springfield has been told many times over the years. Yet, even with all that has been written, there are still interesting details about that time period that may be clarified or explored to a greater degree. This talk will look at and reexamine Lincoln’s last days in Springfield as well as link those days to some of the local landmarks that remain today.
