Interior of Logan County Courthouse at Its Original Site, circa 1925, Used as a Private Residence
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford's search for a building with an Abraham Lincoln connection led him to this Illinois structure, a courthouse where Lincoln had practiced law early in his career. Ford purchased the building, although by then it had become a private residence. The building was dismantled, moved, and re-erected in Greenfield Village in time for the official dedication in October 1929.
