I really enjoyed the ones on the Lincoln Library and Museum in Springfield as I had visited it about 2 years ago. It is an easy day's drive from Lexington and is extremely interesting. It is also interesting to walk over to his home and see how the Park Service is dealing with the issues involved in restoring the entire block --many of the original structures have been torn down. Do they rebuild them from photos, leave the lots empty, build just an "outline" (like the Ben Franklin house in Philadelphia). Also, the Lexington History Museum in the old courthouse currently has an exhibit on Lincoln in Lexington.
