Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, her husband Todd and other members of her family were in Springfield Sunday morning to tour the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum.
Shortly after 11 a.m., museum officials posted pictures of the visit on Facebook. Palin's political action committee website also made mention of her stop in Springfield.
NBC News' Alexandra Moe also posted a photo on Twitter of Palin's bus passing the Statehouse.
According to news reports, the visit came a day after the Palins spent time visiting a historic site dedicated to another Republican president from Illinois, Ronald Reagan.
Saukvalley.com reported the Palins' "One Nation" bus tour took them to Reagan's boyhood home in Dixon and his alma mater, Eureka College.
Palin, who some believe may pursue the Republican nomination for president, was in Iowa earlier last week ahead of the GOP straw polls.

I know another has already corrected you, but I’m a Hoosier; Kentucky bore him, Indiana raised him and Illinois is where he took what he learnt and put it to work.
Talk about sucking away the air...LOL!
