From the August 21, 2012, Peoria (Il) Journal Star.
Becky Hughes and her children were on their way back to St. Joseph, Missouri, when she decided to enrich her children's lives with a trip to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Museum. They became the 3,000,000th visitor to the popular place.
It opened April 19, 2005 and admitted its millionth visitor June 6, 2007, two millionth on July 4, 2009.
We were able to visit it that first year and have been back a couple times since. The museum part is the most popular, buy you should also visit the library, located across the street. There is always an ongoing exhibit there.
Make sure you say hello to our buddy J.J. who is a guard there.
