This weekend I had the privilage of visiting the Lincoln Museum in Fort Wayne. I will be posting pics and providing commentary. It was a lot of fun and it is closing its doors forever on June 30th.

Mike,
I heard about the Museum's impending closure on a recent episode of Gerry Prokopowicz's Civil War Talk Radio. That is an utter shame. I'm glad you'll be able to visit before it is gone.
