Nikki and Priscilla travel to a site where Lincoln once stayed!


On June 20th, 2009, Nikki Spiess and Priscilla traveled from the Wham building to Anna, Il-Nikki's home town. On South Main Street in Anna, a house built in 1855 still remains. In 1858, during the Lincoln Douglas Debate, Abraham Lincoln stayed in this house. On September 15th, 1858, the Lincoln-Douglas Debate took place in Jonesboro, Illinois for their 3rd debate. While the debate was taking place, Lincoln stayed at this home for several days. Priscilla traveled a total of 41.04 miles from the Wham building to the house in Anna, Il. Priscilla has traveled a total of 8,622.24 miles this semester!
