Lincoln Trip Highly Rated
The FRIENDS Annual Time & Place Trip for 2009 was to Springfield Illinois to “walk in Abe Lincoln’s Footsteps” as he became the icon his is known as today.
The three day, two night coach adventure was highly rated among the travelers. Perhaps it had to do with the special “behind the scenes” segments that were added to the usual historic Springfield itinerary. Added value specialty items were welcomed at all points of the tour.
- Lunching at the Lincoln Library
- At Lincoln's Office
- Lincoln Vault
- Is it really Lincoln?
- Visting Old Salem
- Lincoln's Desk
- TALK ABOUT HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE!
- HOME SWEET HOME
Lunch at the Lincon Library, experiencing the Vault, seeing where Lincon lived and worked, and meeting “Lincoln” (expert Lincoln character presenter, Mr. Klein) were just some of the highlights of a history adventure to remember.
FRIENDS conducts “Time & Place” Tours annually. Watch for the details of the 2010 adventure into the past.

Abraham Lincoln Springfield Trip
On September 14th FRIENDS and their guests, walked in Lincoln’s footsteps on a dream trip to Springfield Illinois.
This 3 day 2 night coach trip was another spectacular “Time And Place” adventures sponsored by the FRIENDS. These Lincoln fans visited many significant historic locations, including behind the scenes offerings that the public rarely witnesses. Lunch at the Lincoln Library and meeting “Lincoln himself,” were some of the memorable highlights.
Not only was this an eye-opener and an experience to remember, it was lots of fun!
Watch for the pictures coming up soon!
