Abraham Lincoln was an American President whose name will never be forgotten. Springfield, Illinois is known as the home of Lincoln during most of his life. The home he shared with his wife and sons is a historical tourist attraction. In 2005 the Abraham Presidential Library and Museum was opened to the public. The museum has many artifacts dating back from when Lincoln was a boy until his death in 1865. For an understanding of experience at the museum I would interview teachers and students who have used the museum as an educational field trip. Also tourist who have travel far from home to visit the great museum. Last but not least I would interview the Mayor, creators, and those who see what the museum has done for the city of Springfield. For my article I would start with a few history facts of Lincoln his presidency and his time in Illinois. I would then introduce the museum and other historical attractions that Lincoln has in Springfield.
