Took a bit of driving around in circles to find but was worth it. Such friendly people working there. So very helpful. Gave great directions and a map with everything circled. May everything so easy.

Lovely people at the reception who make a lot of effort towards foreigners like us (France)

A great place to start a magnificent walking experience. The center is actually in the same building that Lincoln had his law office. Across from the Old State Capital and 4 city blocks away from the Lincoln home and other historical buildings. Take a walk and soak up the 1800 history of everydayife.
