Mount Pulaski Courthouse State Historic Site
Mount Pulaski Courthouse State Historic Site, Historic courthouse and museum in Mount Pulaski, Illinois, US
The Mount Pulaski Courthouse features brick construction with pediments spanning the structure and vertical pilasters positioned at each corner of the building.
The courthouse served as Logan County's seat from 1848 to 1855, during which Abraham Lincoln practiced law while traveling through Illinois's Eighth Circuit.
The preserved courtroom maintains original wooden elements and furniture, representing the judicial practices and architectural standards of 1840s Illinois.
The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency manages the site and provides guided tours through the recreated county offices and historical exhibition spaces.
Local citizens funded the majority of the courthouse construction in 1847, contributing $2,700 of the total $3,000 cost for this Greek Revival structure.
