We loved our trip to Springfield. The Lincoln museum is the most impressive museum I can remember seeing. The technology incorporated in telling his story is truly amazing - holographic “people” who were so realistic as well as many life sized wax models, log cabin and White House reproductions, etc. it was a fabulous museum! The next day we went to his home, the only home he ever owned. In addition to it, they mhave preserved a 2-3 block area as it was in his day. He lived in Springfield for 24 years. It had a lovely neighborhood feel. We also went to Lincoln’s tomb - another impressive site filled with bronze statues of Lincoln through different stages of his life. Springfield has done an outstanding job of preserving Lincoln. That night in the hotel we watched the movie Lincoln. I couldn’t help but feel that Heavenly Father chose him just as He did Joseph Smith to accomplish a very difficult mission and then took them home to give them the rest they didn’t have in life. Such inspiring people and stories!!
