| In the early 1830's pioneer traf- fic moving north from Peoria crowded primitive trails and forced a direct route to Galena. In 1833 Levi Warner's state survey marked the Galena Road. It cut through this schoolyard. Private Abraham Lincoln passed this site June 13, 1832 in Captain Elijah Iles's Black Hawk War company. the Polo Historical Society and the Illinois State Historical Society, 1964 |
