Nelson and La Donna took a few days off to travel to Springfield, Illinois. There they visited the ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESIDENTIAL MUSEUM … unbelievable experience! One could spend the most of one day in this marvelous place where the history of Abraham Lincoln and his family is graphically displayed. Several theatres and many rooms of Lincoln memorabilia give one the feeling of what it was to be living back in those days. Life-size wax figures abound throughout the display areas.
They also had a personal tour through the Lincoln homestead which was occupied for many years before the family moved to the White House in Washington, D.C. Surprisingly the Lincoln home is a large 3200 square foot structure within are many authentic Lincoln possessions maintained in excellent condition.
Finally they visited the LINCOLN TOMB in which the bodies of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd and three of his children are interred. The impressive structure is 172 feet tall.
Their trip was rounded out the next day when they visited a former next door neighbor now living in Morton, Illinois and a member of the Trombone Trio which Nelson participated in for three years while in college.
