Our tour started off with an exploration of NewSalem, which is representative of what New Salem was like when Abraham Lincoln was there in hisearly years. We had a chilly day to check out the buildings and get a “lay of the land.”Next, we headed in to the city of Springfield to investigate some government and historicsites. We were lucky enough to see our politicians in session at the New State Capital. While at theNew State Capital, Miss Gardell’s class had the special honor of meeting Secretary of State, JesseWhite. He invited the students in for a tour of his office. Mr. White let the students choose somesouvenirs to take home. The children then toured the Old State Capital and compared the New StateCapital to the Old State Capital, noticing quite a difference!The Illinois State Museum gave the kids quite an overview of Illinois, both past and present.To learn more about Lincoln’s life, children visited Lincoln’s Tomb and Lincoln’s PresidentialMuseum.Lincoln’s Presidential Museum was the highlight of the trip for most. The kids enjoyed theUnion Theater where they experienced the show “Through Lincoln’s Eyes.” A state of the art specialeffects presentation gave an overview of Lincoln’s life from birth to death. They also enjoyed“Ghosts of the Library” which uses Holavision to examine artifacts found in the library. Thehost/historian describes the collections and the discoveries made. The collections include actualobjects that Lincoln and others had touched and used throughout history.We want to thank all of the parents who took time out to accompany us on this trip. Withoutour strong parental support we would not be able to experience all that we do while in Springfield.We also want to thank PTO for their continuing support of our trip. We appreciate their dedication toour students and families. We would also like to thank Mr. Meisner, who also contributes to our fieldtrip in his own special way. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone!4
