Lincoln Oak, Historic oak tree in Bloomington, Illinois, US

Lincoln Oak is a replacement tree planted in 1980 that stands at a historic location in Bloomington. The tree marks a site where major political speeches took place during the 1850s.

Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas delivered important speeches at this location during the 1850s. These addresses contributed to the political debates that eventually led to the Civil War.

This location holds meaning as a gathering place where important political moments took shape during the 1850s. The site remains a quiet reminder of how ordinary outdoor spaces once hosted conversations that shaped the nation.

The tree is located near the Vrooman Mansion and marked with informational signs for visitors. The site is easy to walk around and sits in an accessible part of town.

A single leaf from the original tree is preserved in a collection at Montana State University. This rare relic shows how small pieces of the site are safeguarded in unexpected places.
