I took a solo trip to Springfield, Illinois, to explore the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library — a place I’d never visited despite its 21-year history. The Amtrak ride was cheap and convenient, and the museum, just steps from Lincoln’s former home, offered a vivid, immersive look at his life. With 13 million artifacts and interactive exhibits — from holograms to dioramas of his presidency and assassination — it’s more than a museum; it’s a living history lesson. Seeing Lincoln’s humble desk and imagining him playing handball made him feel real, not mythic. Kids laughing at a Ford’s Theatre reenactment? That’s history with a side of humanity.
