Springfield, Illinois


Emily sitting on the steps in the old Capitol Building


Emily standing in the exact spot where Lincoln gave his "A House Divided" speech in 1858. If you want to read more, go here: http://www.nationalcenter.org/HouseDivided.html


Emily standing next to Lincoln's seat, with his hat and cap on chair.

And no trip is complete to Illinois without visiting a Lincoln site. On this trip, we went to the old State Capitol building, where Abraham Lincoln served his last term as a State Legislator.
