Robert E. Lee and Chelsea took a trip to the Historical Jail Museum in Benton, IL. They traveled 100.9 miles round trip. There is an entire room dedicated to John A. Logan, Robert was not too fond of this part of the tour. There are occasionally re-enactments held at this location which are open to the public. There is also a lot of memorabilia from the Civil War including many things from the Benton area. A monument is located here that is dedicated to Logan and the 209 soldiers from Franklin County who lost their lives during the Civil War. Although, most of the Civil War history found at the jail museum was in honor of General John A. Logan, Robert and I had a great time. General Robert E. Lee has now traveled 1837.22 miles total!!
