Vermilion County Museum Society
Danville, Illinois

Historic House

"If I have blessings at my disposal, Old Vermilion will come in for a boutiful share." Abraham Lincoln said when he made his last stop in Danville. He was on his way to assume the Presidency in February 1861.

Now you can walk in Lincoln's footsteps when you visit the Vermilion County Museum Complex. History is everyone, and you will find something for everyone here. In the Fithian Home you can see the room where Abraham Lincoln stayed when he visited his freind, client, and political supporter, Dr. William H. Fithian. You can also see the balcony from which Lincoln delivered a speech in 1858 in his stocking feet. The Vermilion County Museum building is a replica of the 1833 courthouse where Lincoln practiced law.
