Well. it's his 200th birthday anniversary, you know.
Yesterday, we parked over by the Lincoln Museum and Library and took a walk around. Both buildings have striking architecture. There were a lot of people around, but not nearly as many as the year they opened.
Then there's that wonderful old 1900 train depot that has been restored to its former glory, even including the tower. As impressive as that structure is, the surrounding grounds have been landscaped beautifully.
We didn't have time to tour the museum, which is now $2 more expensive at $10 for adults. We wanted to see if buddy JJ was going to be at Capital City to play NTN and he is the security guard at the Lincoln Library, so we dropped in.
He was there and said he'd be at Capital City. He also had us take a look at the birthday cards and banners sent by people and students from all over the US. He said just a small number were on display with thousands more stored away. Quite impressive, especially the banners which are hanging in the main hall.
One person even sent a card made of tile.
Happy Birthday, Abe!! --Cooter
