Teddy Travels to Murphysboro with Brittany!!

On Tuesday, April 15th, 2014 I traveled with Brittany from her CI 424 classroom at Wham Education Building, to her home in De Soto, IL, then to the General John A. Logan Museum in Murphysboro, IL.  I am glad we did not stay at her house very long because her dog is a lot bigger than me.  We waited for Brittany's husband to get home from work then we traveled to Murphysboro.  She wanted her husband to come with us so he could be the one to take the picture and she thought he would like the museum.  I was excited when we pulled up to the museum.  It was an old house and there were other houses that looked even older than the one with the museum in it!  I found out that General John A. Logan was born in what is now Murphysboro. He was born on February 9, 1826.  He was a representative, a Senator for Illinois, and also a General in the Civil War.  The museum consists of lots of interesting pictures, maps, political memorabilia, antiques that belonged to his family, and Civil war items.  While we are there we found out where General Logan's birth home was located. The foundation of his birth home was uncovered in 2000 by archaeologists! Our trip to the museum was fun and I would recommend this place to anyone! After we left the museum, we went back to Brittany's house.  In the morning we left in Brittany's backpack back to SIU.  I had an awesome trip!
