🚧 Construction Commencing at Mt. Pulaski Courthouse 🚧

Please be advised that construction is set to begin at the Mt. Pulaski Courthouse in the next few weeks. During this time, the west door will be inaccessible to visitors, due to the renovation of the outside wall and stairs. We kindly ask all patrons to utilize the east door (located in the back of the courthouse) for entry until further notice. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work to enhance the facilities for the community. Thank you for your understanding!

We are saddened by the loss of Mr. McClarey, but he will live on through his amazing sculptures! It was an honor to work with such a talented man. Thoughts and prayers to his wife and family!

Christmas decor has a magical way of transforming spaces into enchanting wonderlands, creating an ambiance that resonates with tradition and togetherness.

A very special thank you to Susan Collier for her help on getting the courthouse ready for Christmas on Vinegar Hill! The decor was enjoyed by many today!

Stop by soon to experience it in person and learn about Abraham Lincoln’s time in Mount Pulaski! 🎩
