Lincoln's personal record of deposits and withdrawals is exhibited in his bank, in a fancy brass-and-glass case.
~18 miles from Petersburg.

A fixture in Cicero for decades, the Hot Dog-Holding Muffler Man now stands along Route 66 in another town.
~37 miles from Petersburg.

In Griggsville, signs claim that Purple Martins eat 2,000 mosquitoes a day... and they live in luxury bird condo high-rises in town. Coincidence that purple martin houses are manufactured here?
