Lincoln, Illinois is a town that Abraham Lincoln helped establish. It was the first town named after the 16th president of the U.S. Historic Route 66 also goes through Lincoln. However, Lincoln has struggled economically as the population continues to be in decline. Seems to be the case with darn near every small town in Illinois.

I lived there from 1974 through 1986, worked at Lehn & Fink. Amazing how much the town has deteriorated since then. All the major industrials, except Johnson Control (Cutler-Hammer), packed up and have left.

I used to live there in August of '92, '94, and finally in '95. Left in November of '95 back home to Nebraska. Watching the video I seen two places where I lived and my old job. I love the Balloon fest they have at the end of August. Thanks for the video.

Well kept older town. I bet when it was a real railroad hub and rt.66 was the real main east west hwy before the expressways were built, it was much more vibrant with stuff going on. You can tell that the crime is low by the absence of those all in one liquor/lotto/check cashing/title loan behind plexiglass barriers stores. No houses for sale to be seen either so residents like where they are at and tend to take care of things more.

The downtown still does very active business. We have a very active community with our High School sports drawing everyone in town. I have lived her off and on most of my life and raised my kids and now my grandkids. I went to LCHS, my kids went to LCHS, and probably my grandkids. What is hurting us all in Illinois is incompetent Democratic governors from Chicago who see down state as a piggy bank for Chicago. In the 70's, this town was alive and growing.
