The Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park and Memorial is a 162 acre state park located on the Sangamon River in Macon County near Harristown, Illinois. This important historic site, only 12 miles Southwest of Decatur, offers hiking, canoeing, picnicking, recreational activities, and a glimpse into the past. The park offers a unique view of central Illinois.
The state memorial, created in 1938, commemorates the approximate location of Abraham Lincoln’s first home in Illinois. The original Lincoln cabin has long been lost but the memorials and the quiet forest and stream easily transport the visitor back to the time when the Lincolns first settled this virgin wilderness. When you visit the park, drive east to the end of the park road where you will the find the memorials.
