Abraham Lincoln's Team's
Mini Fieldtrip to the EIU Archives...

Beca commented, "I liked our mini field trip to the archives because it was fun.
I learned more about Abe by looking at the Abraham Lincoln books
that were stored there."
...Getting a closer look...
"...please put all of your belongings in here..book bags, purses, etc... Security is a big issue at the archives...
...Our adventure back to the "secret room..."  Archives are stored here and they are under "lock and key..."
...We are so lucky! We're almost there...
...Do not touch...this is top secret stuff!
 
...Jerad is checking out a book about Mr. Lincoln that is over 100 years old...It is tied with a string to help keep it in tact...
...Thank You for an excellent mini-fieldtrip to the archives!...

Jerad said: "My favorite part about the field trip was that we got to go to the archives and go back to the secret room that had bunches
and bunches of thick books."

"I liked going to the archives because we were able to go into a secret room where all of the old books are stored from way back.
I saw one from 1808, said Heather."
