Plan a summer visit! See Lincoln in Champaign County

While you are at home lamenting that you aren't going to get much of a vacation this year, think about all the things you can do in Champaign County! You can meet our local friend, Abraham Lincoln in two venues. Check out the exhibit about Lincoln's lawyering  in Champaign County, "Abraham Lincoln, Large Presence in a Small Town," at the Courthouse in Urbana (open courthouse hours, most weekdays 8-4:30) or drive  to the Museum of the Grand Prairie in the Champaign County Forest Preserve. There you'll see "Champaign County's Lincoln" and learn about his personal and political life in our neck of the woods.  Here you will hear the voices of his friends, take a photograph in Alschuler's photograph studio and enter the county--as Lincoln did--in a buggy. Museum hours: 1:00 to  5:00 everyday, with 10-5 weekdays and Saturdays in June, July and August.

Don't miss it!
