Sept 21 A late start and an easy day to Beardstown

We toured the town of Havanna in the morning.  It has brick pavement throughout most of the town showing its historic age.  But that meant we got a late start of the passage, so we journeyed down to Beardstown, IL.  Here is the site where Abraham Lincoln defended one of his most historic cases before running for president. We docked up at Logstons Tug Service at one of their barges for the night (first pic).  Then we toured the museum and courthouse (second pic) where old Abe gave a great showing as a trial lawyer in 1858.   Then shortly after he gave an historic speech here about a nation divided (next pic).  It was a short day today, we are getting ready for a long run to the Mississippi River tomorrow
