Located in Coles County, this village of 226 residents is forever linked to President Abraham Lincoln's family story. Thomas Lincoln, the father of the 16th President, spent the latter years of his life on a homestead near Lerna, establishing roots in central Illinois when the state represented the frontier. Thomas Lincoln and his second wife Sarah Bush Lincoln are buried in Shiloh Cemetery just south of town, making Lerna a pilgrimage site for history enthusiasts from across the nation. The Lincoln Log Cabin itself stands preserved as a testament to frontier life and the president's humble origins, drawing visitors interested in American history and heritage.
Coles County itself was formed on December 25, 1830, and named for Edward Coles, Illinois' second governor who served from 1822 to 1826. The county's founding followed the Black Hawk War of 1832, when Native American populations were relocated west of the Mississippi River and white settlers felt secure enough to establish permanent communities. Pioneer families flooded into the region, establishing the agricultural foundation that still sustains the area today. Lerna developed as a small rural community serving the surrounding farmland, though its proximity to Lincoln's legacy has given it cultural significance beyond its size. The village embodies the connection between America's frontier past and its agricultural present.
A village built on historical preservation and community pride deserves modern connectivity that honors those values. GigFire's internet network delivers high-speed internet without the visual and environmental disruption that extensive installation would cause in a historic preservation area.
