Springfield Tour

[Gene C]

Our trip this year will include the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln's Neighborhood and home, New Salem and local cemetery tours, Oak Ridge Cemetery, the Old State Capitol, and tour around the square.
No trip is complete without a visit to the Prairie Archives Bookstore, dinner at Saputo's (very nice, Italian restaurant)

We have time to squeeze in a few other places, I'm hoping we can do the Lincoln Ghost Walk this year. While we may not learn much from it, it should be fun.
Maybe the Illinois State Military Museum (where Santa Anna now keeps his wooden leg), the Elijah Isles house - just down the block from Lincoln's home, and Union Station.
We are pretty flexible. Check out this online guide to Springfield.

We usually stay at the Abraham Lincoln Motel (Doubletree) downtown, but you can stay wherever you want. They have a nice big lobby where we unwind at the end of the day and get to know each other better. It's convenient, but other places are less expensive.
Check around.

Joe and I are trying to get a head count of how many will be joining us this year to complete plans for the Tour.
The dates are, arrive on September 29 (Thursday evening) and leave October 2 (Sunday)

You pay your own expenses, there is no tour fee.
If interested please send me an email or private message.
