Although you quite obviously lack pictures of it, there is plenty more Lincoln stuff in Illinois. The city of Lincoln, IL is about two hours north of St. Louis, or a half-hour north of the state capital of Springfield, on I-55. It doesn't have a lot of historical sites associated with him, but both Springfield and Vandalia (an hour east of St. Louis on I-70) are full of those.
Yes... more accurately, I could have said: "Lincoln: the man (but not the one I think of as "Lincoln" most often), the city (one of several with the same name), the statue (one of many)." I don't have any particular Lincoln fetish; I just lived there. But thanks for the info. :)
