Day 15 (Saturday, 9/24) - Summary

Back in a rented car, I am able to see a number of sites, most significantly, the farm where Lincoln's parents lived out their final days, south of Charleston. I then head to Paris, where I will spend two nights at the home of Chuck Hand, prominent dealer in Lincoln books and pamphlets and a long-time friend.
