Springfield

oops, I clicked on the wrong one.....

This one was done by Gutzan Borglum, the sculptor of Mt. Rushmore
The same sculpture as the one in the Lincoln memorial in DC
The tomb, monument

Marshall, Abby and Abe
Mrs. Lincoln in one of the ball gowns
a picture of Fort Sumpter
The tomb as we drove into the cemetary
In front of the tomb

Gram and Gramp in the elevator
The geeks in the elevator
The capitol dome in Springfield.
These figures are in the middle of a huge room, there are several entrances to exhibits leading from the room.
I love this portrait of Lincoln....it hangs outside the theater that shows a movie about his eyes. It is really good.

I dragged mom and dad to Springfield yesterday, to the Lincoln museum and the cemetary and tomb......we drove to New Salem...supposedly a pioneer village from Lincolns time......don't go there, its' not worth the drive. Anyway here some pics of the day.
