Happy Birthday, Abe!









Today is Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. Barack Obama stopped by Peoria today on his way to Springfield to celebrate. We have had quite a few presidential visits over the years, see: http://www.lincolncourier.com/archive/x1851010340/Presidential-visits-to-Peoria-area Being a fan of Lincoln myself, I thought I would post some pix of a visit to Springfield in 2005, including pix of Lincoln's house, his teeny writing desk, outside his tomb, and his tomb.
