Lincoln Memorial University

Yesterday we went to the town of Harrogate,Tennessee.
To go on the campus of the Lincoln Memorial University.  No Nancy nor I are wanting to sign up for more education.
We went to see the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum. The museum is on the small side but full of Lincoln information.
When you open the entrance door you will see a statue of young Abe with an axe and his dog. Sometimes we forget that Abe Lincoln was a railsplitter. It is said that even when he was president he could hold the large axe straight out in his hand without his arm quivering.
On the side of the entrance room is an old wagon.
As you walk through there is "Honest Abe" asking for your vote.
This is the model for the large one at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. This one is said to be worth a half million dollars.
These are only two of the busts and statues on display.
Old civil war cannon.
Another carriage.
This appears to be a painting but is a model with small buildings and small carved minature figures that keep getting small as you look back through the crowd.
We had a nice day and came away a little more educated on Abraham Lincoln.
Thanks for dropping in to check on us and do come back.
You have yourself a nice day.
