Here you can follow in the footsteps of the father, husband, lawyer, and statesman who led the nation through the turbulent Civil War and inspired him to turn the war into a “new birth of freedom.” After the president’s life was tragically cut short by an assassin’s bullet on April 15, 1865, his remains were returned to his beloved hometown of Springfield – we will visit Lincoln’s Tomb, where a monument was erected to preserve his memory. After checking in to tonight’s accommodations, we enjoy an included dinner. D
