Lincoln Pilgrimage, April 2012 | |
| Our troop has been to the Grant Pilgrimage several times and always enjoyed it. This year, we decided to venture to Springfield, Illinois for the
Lincoln Pilgrimage. It completely lived up to the hype. This is not to be missed. Lots to see and learn. To learn more about the Lincoln Pilgrimage click here | |
