Historic Sites Details
Illinois may be known as the Land of Lincoln, but take a step back, and you will discover that life in this area actually dates back over 1,000 years. Not only does Illinois have a fascinating military, mining, and political history, but it is also one of the only states in the US with prehistoric ties. Uncover fossils in Mazon Creek, see tribal artifacts at Kincaid Mounds, or learn about one of the oldest ancient civilizations at the Cahokia archeological site.
