Lincoln sites, Springfield, Illinois
September 18-20, 2009
The Civil War Round Table of Western Missouri took a guided bus tour of the Lincoln sites in Springfield, Illinois. Karen Coin did a marvelous job of talking with the Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library and other sites, restaurants, and hotels to get us very good rates and to make our trip as smooth as possible. We saw a lot of history in our time
there. The price was only $225 for double occupancy at the hotel, a tour bus ride with professional driver, historical sites, and all meals except fast food for supper on Friday evening and fast food for supper coming back on Sunday.
