MAHOMET – Abraham Lincoln worked or stayed in St. Joseph, Homer, Mahomet, Urbana and Champaign, and on Monday the state will be putting historic displays up saying just that.
Cheryl Kennedy, the director of the Early American Museum in Mahomet, said volunteers will be erecting the wayside signs in advance of Lincoln's 200th birthday next February. They're part of the first round of a statewide project, the Looking for Lincoln Coalition, which has already started looking at its next group of sites.
