Dickson Mounds Museum is located in a rural area of West Central Illinois, near the Illinois River between the towns of Lewistown and Havana. It is 200 miles southwest of Chicago, 45 miles southwest of Peoria, and 60 miles northwest of Springfield.
There's something for everyone in Spoon River Country -- history and natural history, country fairs and festivals, hunting and fishing, artifacts and antiques, farms and orchards. The small towns set among wooded hills are much the same as when Lincoln practiced law and campaigned there, or when Edgar Lee Masters made them famous in his Spoon River Anthology.
