Get Your Kicks in The Land of Lincoln and the Mighty MississippiMontgomery County, Illinois, is an ideal place to visit or live...
...for those who want to walk where Lincoln walked at the historic state capitol in nearby Vandalia or visit the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield just a short drive up the road; ...or for the trip from Springfield that lets people appreciate fertile flat land that turns into rolling countryside where the glaciers began to melt down between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago. These rolling hills eventually lead to the Mississippi River - the departure point for the Lewis and Clark Expedition near Alton, Illinois; the World Heritage Site of Cahokia Mounds, and countless other sites and activities for visitors, including families, to enjoy.
