Gene- I would love to go to Lincoln, Il. Isn't that the only city named for him before he was president? Did he survey it? And didn't he christen it with a watermelon!!!!!

Eva- All I can say is WOW! What adventures you have done! The memories! I'm afraid my little trip pales in comparsion. what stories you must have!

Mike - Yes, Yes and Yes
Here is an excellent web site for Lincoln Illinois, full of history about the community and Abraham Lincoln by forum member D Leigh Henson

If you only have time for two sites in Lincoln, try to visit the State Bank Of Lincoln/Heartland Bank, Bank lobby displays signed copies of Abraham Lincoln life masks by Leonard Volk and original artwork by Lloyd Ostendorf.
and The Lincoln Heritage Museum - https://museum.lincolncollege.edu/
