Lincoln, Lincoln & More Lincoln!
Springfield, Illinois, is where Abraham lived prior to becoming the 16th President of the United States. He left from the local train depot and unfortunately, never had an opportunity to return prior to being assassinated.
The photos were taken between July 6th and July 8th of 2006

This is an old-fashioned version of a flashlight - Old Capitol
Supreme Court in Old Capitol Building - Springfield, Illinois
I couldn't resist taking this close-up photo of the eagle in the Supreme Court.
Stephen A. Douglas - "The Little Giant" is in the Old Capitol. He ran against Lincoln & their debates are well-known.
This was the room where the legislators could "shoot the breeze", so to speak. Yup, Lincoln would have spent time here.
It is in this chamber (Hall of Representatives) at the Old Capitol that Lincoln's body was brought.
These photos are used to show how Lincoln aged, while he was President of the United States.
Did you know that Lincoln is the only president to have applied for a patent?
Fido, the Lincoln Family dog, was left behind and this photo would remind Tad and Willie of him.
Lincoln walked to the train depot & left Springfield by train. This building is a replica.The original burned down recently.
