Stories involving historical figures take place all over this great country and Chicago’s west suburbs is no exception. The year was 1875 and the town was Batavia, Illinois, and the historical figure was Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham Lincoln, who was committed to Bellevue Place after being declared legally insane by a Chicago jury. In this video, I revisit this piece of history, as well as share an exhibit at the Batavia Depot Museum where the town pays homage to Mrs. Lincoln’s asylum stay at Bellevue Place. I also give my thoughts on compassion, something Mrs. Lincoln truly needed following the loss of her husband and three children.

About the Channel
I love to seek out travel places and roadside attractions in America. I'm also an American history and pop culture buff and do my best to incorporate that love of history and pop culture into my videos. I visit roadside attractions, museums and places of historical significance, visiting places around Chicago's north suburbs, Chicago's west suburbs and downtown, with plans to travel the rest of this great country through this CZcams journey.
