Traveling in Our Fabulous World
Springfield, Illinois & President Lincoln
By Donald Pile & Ray Williams, Gay Travelers

Springfield is the Capitol of the State and also the resting place of our 16th President.  It is located 100 miles North of St. Louis on Interstate 55.

The Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library opened in downtown Springfield three years ago to huge crowds everyday.  On weekends, tourists come from all over to visit and one weekdays, school children are bussed in so it is busy all the time.  The Museum is in one building and the Library is directly across the street.

Was our 16th President gay or bi? For some good information on that subject, we suggest you read  THE INTIMATE WORLD OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN by C. A. Tripp.

The renowned psychologist offers an entirely new perspective on our most enigmatic president.  It is the new "bombshell" of a book asking a startling question: Was Lincoln gay?
