| Description | A historical marker at Postville Park, in Lincoln, says that Lincoln and his friends played townball at the site of this park (near where the courthouse was) when Lincoln rode the law circuit. The source for this is probably Lawrence Stringer's book on Logan County. |

| Comment | The Logan County courthouse was here 1839-48. It is unclear exactly when Lincoln played here. He was riding the circuit through 1859. Stringer cites the recollections of inhabitants. Edit with form to add a comment |
