Pittsfield and Abe Lincoln

I left Curryville around 5:30 and headed for Pittsfield.  I wanted to get there before dark.

I had booked a room at the William Watson Hotel.

There was no one in the lobby when I arrived.

But a room key and note were on the counter.

I walked up the stairs to my room. 

On the table was some popcorn with treats and a bottle of water.  No extra charge.

Picture above - This was the court house in Lincoln's day.

Evidences of Abe Lincoln all over.

I decided to take a walk around the square and see what there was.

 I love how these towns have the court house in the

 center of town 

with shops all around it.

This was an Italian restaurant I came across.  I got some food to go.

Abe Lincoln and Stephen Douglas would discuss on this courtyard corner.

What a lovely stay!  The mattress was so very comfortable and I had a good night's rest!  I highly recommend a stay here!
