Happy Birthday, Mr. Lincoln

Filed under: General, Holidays by allmyanc

Last fall, as my husband and I were traveling to Detroit, we stopped by Springfield, Illinois to visit Lincoln’s home. Here are a couple of digital scrapbook pages I did with some of the photos–my first foray into digital scrapping. It was a great visit. I love touring old homes–somehow I can get a better grasp on what life was like for the Lincolns in their neighborhood. I also enjoyed the fairly low-tech mock-up of the neighborhood the Park had inside the Visitors Center–by pushing various buttons, you could see where Mary Todd Lincoln’s sisters lived nearby and follow the route Abe walked each day to the legislature.
