Lincoln / Guinnip Well
Artist: Andrew Patrick Henry, Georgia.
It is well documented that Abraham Lincoln practiced law in Marshall, Illinois and traveled the Marshall to Charleston Road. There is no documented proof that Lincoln used the well, but it is a logical assumption that he refreshed his horse and drank the cold, clear water for which it was known. In 1845 Joseph Guinnip dug the Guinnip well on the right of way and it became a public well, in 1931 a commission appointed by Governor Emmerson designated the road as park of the Lincoln National Memorial Highway and in 1938 the Daughters of American Revolution dedicated the well to the memory of pioneers who refreshed themselves here.
