The President-elect, Vice President-elect and their families will travel – via railroad — to Washington, D.C. on Saturday, January 17th and host events along the way in Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore.

Abraham Lincoln’s famed trip from Springfield to Washington in 1861 was a dangerous one, as history shows. One of the more telling stories about the type of man Lincoln was is the the fact that in preparation for the journey he roped his own trunks and labeled them ” A. Lincoln, The White House, Washington, D.C.” In spite of the dangers to the journey there was also great excitement over the new President-elect as this story from Peekskill, New York proves.
