Our thanks to Nancy Saul, Interim Director, Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County for the following press release.
LINCOLN, IL – The World’s Largest Covered Wagon is beginning to “heal” following a late January windstorm that broke three wheels on the kitschy tourist attraction and left it tilted at a 45 degree angle.

“The work is moving right along,” said Nancy Saul, interim director of the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County. “Barring any unforeseen circumstances it should easily be completed by the end of April.
“That was our goal - to get the wagon back in shape for the start of the 2014 tourist season.”
