LOOKING FOR LINCOLN
Scattered throughout the central Illinois landscape are countless places where Lincoln traveled and lived. These places are the real thing and they make up the experience that is called "Looking for Lincoln". It is a journey of discovery, of finding the people and the places that over time shaped this great figure. It's an opportunity to literally "walk in his footsteps".

The new state-of-the-art Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield provides visitors with an emotional journey through Lincoln's life. A "looking for Lincoln" journey extends the story to the places where much of the significant history in Lincoln's early years takes place. The Looking for Lincoln Heritage Coalition emcompasses 43 counties in central Illinois. There are 32 fully interpreted Lincoln related sites throughout the area. Each site has a unique story to tell.
