Lincoln Memorial Garden in Springfield, IL
Enjoy a brief look at a little known nature lover’s treasure along Lake Springfield in Springfield, Illinois.
Lincoln Memorial Garden Springfield, IL Designed by Jens Jensen
This is the Lincoln Memorial Garden in Springfield, Illinois as seen on December 16, 2014. Jens Jensen designed the landscaping which features several of his common choices such as curved, not straight paths, a small clearing that shows Lake Springfield framed by trees, and a council ring. Jensen believed a circular council ring where people could sit together without a hierarchy represented democracy. The overall look of the garden appears more like a natural woods instead of carefully planned landscaping, but this is the latter.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat of Sangamon County. The city's population of 116,250 as of the 2010 U.S. Census makes it the state's sixth most populous city. It is the largest city in central Illinois. As of 2013, the city's population was estimated to have increased to 117,006, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The capital is centrally located within the state. The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government entities include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

Abraham Lincoln Monument Old Calton Burial Ground Edinburgh Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Abraham Lincoln monument on ancestry visit to Old Calton Burial Ground in Edinburgh. This is the Scottish, American Soldiers Monument which depicts a standing figure of Abraham Lincoln, with a freed slave giving thanks at his feet. A bronze shield bears the old USA flag, and is wreathed in thistles to the left, and cotton to the right. Two regimental flags lay furled, the battle being over. The black man holds a book, indicating that he is not only free, he is also now educated. This was the first statue to an American President in any country outside the USA. It is the only statue of Lincoln in Scotland, and the only monument to the American Civil War outside the USA. The monument was erected at American expense to a small group of Scots, only one of whom, William Duff, is buried under the monument, the rest being nearby, to whom it felt indebted, and wished their graves to be marked, despite their later poverty. They had all fought for the Union in the American Civil War. The inscription, To preserve the jewel of liberty in the framework of Freedom is a quotation from the writings of Abraham Lincoln.

The Peace Garden was a gift to the College from Mr. and Mrs. David J. Vaughan of Peoria Heights, Illinois.
