Abraham Lincoln's Journey Home: Springfield, Illinois

As the nation and the National Park Service commemorated the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's funeral in May 2015, National Park Service employees and representatives re-traced the route his funeral train took as it made its way from Washington DC to Springfield, Illinois. It was a "celebration of the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln on the 150th anniversary of his national funeral."

This program was from the end-point in Springfield, IL, on May 3rd, 2015. The program was given at the Old State Capitol State Historic Site in Springfield. Program speakers include Fritz Klein, Duey Kol, and Vanessa Torres.
