A Mom's Guide to the Land of Lincoln
Two moms and their kids set off to explore the Land of Lincoln -- and connect with a leader who's still inspiring.
A somber stop
On our way out of Springfield, we stop at Lincoln's Tomb. A towering obelisk and statue announce the burial place. We walk through hushed marble halls.
LINCOLN TOMB
Moms say Didn't realize that Lincoln was buried in Springfield, along with his wife, Mary, and three of his four sons. The 117-foot-tall tomb (left) has a rotunda and corridors containing Lincoln statues and plaques with excerpts from his speeches. This was moving and powerful, a real chance to reflect.
Kids say Serious and quiet inside. Great hills to roll down outside.
