Actually, I think he was at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery today which, oddly enough, is not where Lincoln is buried. The Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery is up here just southwest of Chicago, while Lincoln in buried in Springfield....which just happens to be my hometown as well.

I haven't been to Springfield's "Lincoln sites" in ages. We all hated them as kids because when you grow up in Springfield every damn field trip is to Lincoln's grave, or his house, or his older house, or his law office, blah, blah, blah.

But I've heard from a lot of non-Springfield people who agree with you that it is a pretty good tourist experience all-in-all....as mind-boggling as that may be to those of us who spent 18 years in the place.
