Abraham Lincoln practiced law in our community. This space pays tribute to his work.

Best place to get a sense of Central Illinois and how it all started. Located in the old Courthouse on the Square in downtown Bloomington. Take a picture with President Lincoln!

It's our old courthouse in the middle of our downtown. It's now a terrific museum, it's a great visit with several food options nearby. Park in one place and enjoy the museum/local restaurants!

They have permanent exhibits that focus on life on the American prairie as well as an ever-changing lineup of temporary historical exhibits.

All four stories are taken up by the museum with excellent, in-depth galleries looking into McLean County’s rich political and military history, immigration and Native American heritage, commercial and industrial history, as well as the intrinsic connection between the county and agriculture. At the time of writing there was an acclaimed new exhibit exploring Lincoln’s work as an attorney in McLean County, his role in the anti-slavery movement and in the formation of the new Republican party in this state.
