Vermilion County, Illinois

Vermilion County sits on the eastern edge of Illinois, right up against the Indiana border. Danville, the county seat, has grit. This place is a mix of prairie and woodland.

The Vermilion River cuts through the county, creating some pretty scenic spots. Lincoln practiced law in Danville for about 18 years before he hit the big time.

These days, the economy’s a mix of agriculture and small industry. The VA hospital is a big employer. Kickapoo State Park brings in people from all over. It’s quiet out here, and people are friendly.
