I Like #72 and Road Tripping 2019

Since I am back from my country wide jaunt I have so much to share, some of it can be put into an I Like Post.

I like driving, getting lost and spying interesting places to stop.  Like Lincoln's Log Cabin near Lerna, Illinois. 

This was not a cabin that Abraham Lincoln lived in, but his father Thomas.  As we drove down farm roads looking fr the site,  we came across this cemetery where Thomas Lincoln was buried.

Lincoln's Cabin is a State Historic site.  I will say it is a very nice park, and the museum was very neat with lots of information, and interactive displays.

Thomas Lincoln's blanket chest that he made out of walnut.

Replicas of the broken dishes found in the fire pit behind the Lincoln cabin which were discovered during an archaeological dig in 1978.  I can really relate to finding dishes, glassware, and crockery all over my farm too!

I spied this neat quilt in a display about quilting and other pastimes. 

Some more of the display. 

There were some neat plants as we wandered around looking at the barns and outbuildings.

Garlic and it was huge!

I was fascinated with these, I have no idea what they are but they were interesting.

I was very excited to see they had a small quilt display in the theater.

Unfortunately Aubri and I never did figure out what building was the cabin.  You can read more about it here- Lincoln Log Cabin, and Lincoln Log Cabin Historical Site.
