How To Teach Kids

Springfield, Illinois, is the home of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, a great educational travel destination.  Our whole family, grandma included, took this educational trip together, and we all loved it.  This state-of-the-art museum is truly fascinating, makes history come alive, and reveals Lincoln’s life in an unforgettable way.   Be sure to allow plenty of time to tour the entire museum!   (There are other things to do in Springfield, too, such as touring the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Dana-Thomas House which is amazing.  Also, the old “Route 66″ goes through Springfield and there are all sorts of relic eating places and memorabilia.)

What better way to make history come alive than to travel to learn at a place like the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco, Texas.  Our family visited the museum on our vacation and really enjoyed it.  The museum gave the history of the Texas Rangers along with artifacts, and it also memorialized 30 Texas Rangers who served with great distinction.   The movie about the history of the Rangers made it even more real.  It is truly a museum worth visiting!
