Day 4: Mt. Vernon, Ind.
Thank you to the people of Mt. Vernon who hosted an amazing River Days festival in our honor today! It was so encouraging to see so many groups of school children come visit the boat to learn about Lincoln's childhood in Spencer County, Indiana.

In addition to our boat and educational display, there were a variety of food vendors, crafters and other local historical displays.

Thank you for providing a very rich educational experience for our 6th grade students from MVJHS. Everyone enjoyed your visit and the opportunity to tour the flatboat!
Good luck with the rest of your journey.
We'll keep watching the blog and the photos!
