We have designed this web site to help you plan your Lincoln adventure.  If your plans include a visit to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, we would suggest you go to Stops Along the Way to find places to visit as you travel  to Springfield.  If you would like to spend several days in one place, we would suggest a Hub Tour from a convenient central location.  We offer several different ideas for you.  If you would like a brochure, just contact us and we will send you our visitor guide.
