I bought a book called Illinois Curiosities about roadside oddities and offbeat stuff. This was mentioned in the book. Since it was a nice day for a ride we drove out to see it. Was a little bit hard to find and nothing more than a display sitting out on the corner of a parking lot but that's why I bought the book to find things like this for fun. Nothing much but at least there was a museum and a cute town to see to make the trip worthwhile.

A replica of the 1800s Postville Courthouse where Abraham Lincoln once practiced law while in the 8th Judicial Court Circuit. This beautiful two story attraction offers a nice guided tour of the building and the grounds which also offers a medicinal garden of that era as well.

One of the Eighth Judicial Circuit Courthouses in Illinois where Abraham Lincoln argued cases. Henry Ford acquired the original Postville courthouse and had it reassembled at his Deerfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. This is a replica of the original building. Did not go inside as it was morning and the courthouse does not open until noon.

The grandchildren and I went bowling. This place was wonderful. They have scoring machines that put our faces in cartoons! The staff was very helpful and even checked on us while we were bowling! It was clean, and a very enjoyable place to visit.

Museum is run by volunteers and you must phone ahead to make sure someone is available to be there. Stopped not having alot of time, so was just looking to see the outside exhibits. Curator Art Williams came by the museum to work on a aircraft engine he was restoring and opened the museum for me. Stayed over an hour with the wealth of information he had on the restoration of the WW2 barracks building the museum is housed in and the stories of how they came to getting their aircraft. They have a rare Navy F-4 Phantom and a A-7 Corsair that was one of the last combat veterans aircraft of the Gulf War in 1991.
