fascinating .... having been to Springfield & the Tomb , I would have relished attending
I watched the video of the  funeral procession so well done...

if you have not attended the Lincoln Library Museum, make the trip & the effort , awe inspiring  !
I attended just weeks after the grand opening.... "Ghosts of the Library" worth  the effort alone !

Sean , is that horse drawn Lincoln Hearse, I assume a replica ?
when planets align...do the deal !
