Lincoln's home.

The Lincoln tomb.

The House of Representatives where Lincoln lay in state.

The court room in the old court house.

The Lincoln law office.

Several blocks around the Lincoln home have been preserved as they were during Lincoln's time there. Definitely worth visiting.

The train station burned recently so this building is a replica but these orginal steps were found under a part of the building that had been built above the older one. Lincoln walked on them?

There was an eerie feeling here.

The Lincoln Depot in Springfield, IL. This is where Lincoln left for the White House. Also, it was the last train stop after he was assasinated. Of course it didn't look exactly like this at the time but it's the same location and it was still fascinating.

Lincoln's farewell address as he left for the White House:

"My friends, no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell."
