Illinois' old state capitol
The Old State Capitol is a reconstruction of Illinois’ fifth statehouse, serving as a seat of state government from 1839-1876. Lincoln delivered his famous “House Divided” speech here, debated his chief rival Stephen Douglas and waged his 1860 presidential campaign within these walls. It’s also where the assassinated leader lay in state in 1865 before being moved to Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield. Visitors are welcome seven days a week. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. (Lori Rackl and Randi Stevenson / Chicago Tribune)

Coming up on Heartland Highways we're off to Decatur, Illinois. The first stop is to the Millikin Place near Millikin University. This unique neighborhood features one home credited to Frank Lloyd Wright and several others inspired by it.

Built in 1874, the mansion features many original details which have been carefully restored back to the time when the Oglesby's made it their home.
