Lincoln’s First Illinois Home
On an eminence overlooking the Sangamon River three miles south of here stood the first home of Lincoln in Illinois. To this site came the Lincoln family in March, 1830. Here they lived until 1831, when the parents removed to Coles County and Abraham set out on his own career.
Marker is on Old Route 36 east of South Lincoln Memorial parkway (County Highway 27), on the right when traveling east.
