213 N Monroe St

Set between the trio of cities that is Springfield, Bloomington, and Decatur in central Illinois, Lincoln combines small-town charm and rural beauty in an area totaling less than two square miles. Nestled in the corner of Interstate 55 and 155, Lincoln is plainly laid out, with a number of parks and green spaces that sit between the town and major thoroughfares. There are townhouse communities, apartments in the downtown area, and longstanding homes for rent around the perimeter.

In the warmer months, residents of all ages can enjoy the events and attractions set up at the fairgrounds. Stores, restaurants, and shops of the locally owned and chain variety can found on and off Keokuk Street which stretches from I-55 east towards Lincoln Christian University. Outdoor enthusiasts or just the casual hiker will love Lincoln. This quiet town provides plenty of trails and space to explore in Kickapoo County Park.
