As you and your family plan your next trip do not miss the opportunity to explore our fascinating past. Discover the advanced civilization that thrived on our fertile prairies nearly 900 years before Columbus landed in the “New World.'' Stroll the path of young Abraham Lincoln, see the countryside court¬ houses where he argued cases and settled disputes, and visit the statehouse chambers where he delivered one of America's most important literary achievements — ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand.'' Linger in the homes of simple hardworking villagers and in the mansions of Illinois' most flamboyant social elite. We have preserved it all for you. Enjoy these sites on your next trip through Illinois. They are encounters with history you will never forget. Sincerely, Governor , _ .

In many ways the history of our state parallels the development of our nation. Illinois has been home to Native American cultures, 17th century explorers, 18th century colonists, 19th century immigrants — as well as to some of the most important figures in American history. But see for yourself — because these sites are very close to home. This brochure has been organized geographically into three sections — southern Illinois, central Illinois, and northern Illinois — to help you plan your family adven¬ tures. Whether you’re looking for a Saturday afternoon getaway, or a rich three-day-weekend experience, welcome to Historic Illinois. :v [ ' I i ‘ ■C, H ^ 'll] Ci ^ ..
