In 1859, Abraham Lincoln, legal counsel for the Illinois Central Railroad Company, hosted an inspection tour of over 705 miles of the company’s railroad properties. Joining Lincoln were a group of state and railroad officials and their families. This tour brought the group to Dunleith (present-day East Dubuque), Illinois and Dubuque, Iowa, where the travel party stayed at the Julien House hotel. This event tells the story surrounding their journey.
