_Tour of Quincy Veteran's Home 2009
_On June 3, 2009, ten members made a trip to Quincy
for shopping, lunch overlooking the Mississippi River, and a visit to
the Illinois Veteran's home. The grounds are large and we toured in a
"chariot" pulled by a patriotic tractor with a guide to tell us about
the facility. Unfortunately budget constraints have caused the
cancellation of tours. You can drive through or park and walk on your
own. The grounds are open to the public (not the buildings). As of
2010, tours are not being given due to budgetary constraints.
