The state capital of Illinois, the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln,
the site of his home for a while, this town had it all. Except a
good place to stop for an early lunch, so we did that later.
No city sign to speak of, but how about
a sign for the Public Works yard? Close enough.
The Illinois state capital building --
and even a block away, free parking. Sweet.
One of Lincoln's homes, during his adult
years, shared with the wife and kids.
A man of many homes, but just the one grave,
where he's now interred.
Even though this guy was a past governor
of the state, his tomb is just teeny compared to Abe's.
