Speaking of Lincoln... His Sounds

On February 12th, we visited the Lincoln Library and Museum's traveling collection in Woodstock, Illinois. I highly recommend you visit it if it comes to your area.

Inside, they had a wall clock with a recording of the tick-tocking of the actual one that used to hand in the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office in Springfield, Illinois. These were the sounds Lincoln would have heard.

Also, they had one of Mary Todd Lincoln's music boxes with a recording of the music played by the original one. No doubt, Lincoln would have heard this on occasion.

So, these are things Lincoln would have heard.
