Near Springfield, IL: Today we went to a museum about Herbert Hoover. It was pretty interesting because of the controversy about him. One should keep in mind that he was the one who was the face of the people who had decided to drop it. That aside, he was pretty interesting. He was known as the “great humanitarian” and constantly tried to help people. There was also a part about the civil war, and what caused it on a lower floor. After checking everything out, we headed back and relaxed for the rest of the day.

7/10/08 Happy House
Near Springfield, IL: Today we all went to check out a house that was turned into the museum. The Dana-Thomas house was designed by the Frank Lloyd Wright during 1904.It was meant to be a showcase, and Frank was given free rein to decorate the house at his whim. It was a nice museum, and my favorite part was the exquisite vase by the front door (or, if you count stories, the story about a chef murdering a bunch of people). Afterwards we headed back and relaxed for the rest of the day.
