The cemetery on the Mississippi River (directly west of Springfield) has a tree that looks like Jesus holding a lamb. The grave diggers will gladly lead you to this bizarro attraction -- the only thing worth seeing in Quincy. My family, on a 9-week car trip to the West in 1999, stopped in Quincy to "see the sights." The river park was infested -- literally covered -- in some kind of flying bug. The museum was closed except at specific hours. There were no "tourist places" for the kids to get souvies (we thought bugs would be nice).
