Lincoln Circuit Ride
SPONSOR:
Lincoln Circuit
Ride
WHO:
Everyone
DETAILS:
Join
ABATE of Illinois on the 2008 Lincoln Circuit Ride, riding the same
roads, visiting the county line markers where Abe crossed into each
county and visiting the same courthouses where he practiced law on
the Old 8ith Judicial Circuit around 1850. A bus tour will accompany
the motorcycles and other vehicles. Presentations will be made along
the way by local historians at the markers and historic sites. The
ride is in two parts: April 26-27 and Oct. 11-12.
The first weekend starts in Springfield, with registration beginning
at 8 am April 26. After a tour of Lincoln's Home, the group will
leave at 9 am from Eighth and Capitol, just north of the home. The
tour will stop at each county line marker on the way from Sangamon
County to the Metamora Historic Courthouse for presentations and
lunch. The afternoon will be spent traveling to Postville
Courthouse, visiting the county line markers along the way, and the
day will end at Lincoln's Holiday Inn Express after several
presentations. On Sunday the group will travel to Mount Pulaski
Courthouse, Clinton Courthouse, DeWitt for lunch and Monticello
Courthouse, stopping at each county line marker along the way and
ending at the marker on Piatt-Champaign County line.
The second half of the circuit will begin Oct. 11 in Champaign, at
Carle Park. Travel will be along the Lincoln Road toward Danville
and then on to Paris Courthouse, Charleston Courthouse and lunch,
and Shelbyville, where the group will spend the night at The Shelby
Inn. The route will follow many old roads and visit the county line
markers along the way. On Sunday the group will head to Sullivan,
Decatur and Taylorville, ending at the Christian-Sangamon County
line marker.
The cost is $10 per person per weekend. There will be an additional
cost for the bus accompanying the tour. Visit
www.lincolncircuitride.com for more details. For further
information, contact Rose Connolly at 217-891-8719.
