Happy Presidents' Day

Today is Presidents' Day, and I have a collection of some of my favorite presidential posts from my travels.

And that picture comes from one of those trips. I ran into George Washington and Abraham Lincoln at Civic Fest in Minneapolis last year, where I picked up my credentials for the Republican National Convention.

The White House model was on display at Civic Fest too.




Presidential entries:

Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Tampico, Ronald Reagan's birthplace
Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Dixon, a shining city upon a hill
Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Ronald Reagan's Dixon, Illinois
Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Herbert Hoover Library and Museum
Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Herbert Hoover Birthplace
Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Where Grant worked as a clerk
Midwestern Presidential Pathway: Ulysses S. Grant Home
My Kansas Kronikles: The Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum
Thirty hours in Lincoln's Springfield, Illinois
Abraham Lincoln birthplace site
Abraham Lincoln birthplace site's log cabin
"My earliest recollection is of the Knob Creek place"

Technorati tags:  politics  history  Americana  Reagan  Ronald Reagan  Abraham Lincoln  Herbert Hoover  Dwight Eisenhower  George Washington  Minneapolis
