Erika (Rozinek) Holst ’01 recently published Historic Houses of Lincoln’s
Illinois (SIU Press, 2018) , an illustrated compendium of twenty-two
historic buildings in the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area, all of
which are open to the public. Each site links today’s visitors with a place
Lincoln lived, a home of a Lincoln friend or colleague, or a spot that
illuminates Lincoln’s era and legacy in central Illinois. Along with dozens
of modern and historical photographs, entries contain explorations of
historical connections to Lincoln and detailed information about
exceptional features and artifacts.
