Storyline
Abraham Lincoln, weary with the Civil War, fell asleep in the White House in 1864.
He dreamed he was back in the log cabin of his childhood, only to find out that it wasn't a dream. It was the replica of a cabin inside the museum that bore his name. Somehow, he had been transported to modern-day Springfield, Illinois, where he had lived from 1837-1861.
He emerged from the museum into a Springfield he did not recognize. Can you help Lincoln find his way back home?
