Railsplitter Covered Wagon in Lincoln, IL is a must-visit stop on your Route 66 journey, showcasing the rich history of Abraham Lincoln in Logan County. Standing at an impressive 25 ft tall and 40 ft long, this iconic landmark holds the title of the World's Largest Covered Wagon, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Created by David Bentley and generously donated by Larry J.

While the cover is removed during winter for protection, it is faithfully put back on every spring, inviting visitors to marvel at this larger-than-life symbol of Lincoln's legacy.
