"Lincoln Draws the Line"

Abraham Lincoln delivered his "Peoria Speech" on October 16, 1854, in the midst of the struggle against slavery and its extension.  Here from the Peoria County Courthouse, he drew the line against the extension of slavery.  Lincoln reaffirmed "the ancient faith and creed of freedom and justice" upon which this nation was founded.

Dedicated October 14, 2001 as a project "of the people, by the people and for the people."  Sponsored by the Peoria Lincoln Party and friends across the nation.
