Abraham Lincoln Came Often to Boonville
While living with his father on a farm about seventeen miles from here, came often to Boonville to hear court trials and to borrow books from John A. Brackenridge.
From this corner Abraham Lincoln traveled North by ox-team on the Old Boonville - Petersburg - Vincennes Road when emigrating to Illinois in 1830.
Marker is at the intersection of East Main Street and South 3rd Street, on the left when traveling west on East Main Street.
