Land O' Who?

Abraham Lincoln walked down this street. Followed by a band. September 11, 1858. There is no historical marker. He left a reception in the house behind the picket fence at the lower left. The house still stands and looks almost exactly as it did 147 years ago. There is no historical marker. After his speach at the courthouse, Mr. Lincoln came back up the street, past this point, to a campaign dinner at a hotel. The hotel building still stands. There is no historical marker. The business on the right is where I have my shirts done. There is no historical marker.
