certainly an engineering wonder, but
its greatest miracle is its call to travelers from every faith, background and
circumstance, reminding them of the
positive values shared and cherished
by all.
Soaring nearly 200 feet into the
Midwestern sky, the Cross at the
Crossroads is a landmark for the over
19 million travelers who each year
pass through Effingham on Interstates
57 and 70.
The Cross was completed in July
2001 and dedicated on Sept. 16,
2001, just a few days after the Sept.
11 Terrorist Attacks. New additions
to the Cross have included the Ten
Commandments display surrounding
the base of the Cross and a Visitors
Center, featuring a chapel, a reception
area, restrooms, refreshment center
and media room where the visitor can
view a video of the construction and

Recreation
Lake Sara
A quiet cove at dawn, where the only sound is the whir of a casting reel
and the gentle splash of the fly hitting the water’s surface...that’s Lake Sara.
A sunny afternoon slalom skiing behind a powerboat or running along the
beach...that’s Lake Sara. A family picnic in the grass at water’s edge or a family reunion, with fried chicken and the works, under one of the pavilions...
that’s Lake Sara.
Lake Sara is an 800-acre recreational lake nestled into a wooded shoreline,
encircled by a winding road. Spend a day, a week, or a season on the shores
of Lake Sara.
Want to spend some time on dry land? Cardinal and Fore-Way golf
courses are just minutes away. Both feature newly laid holes, driving ranges
and club houses.
Planning a getaway? Anthony Acres Resort is an attractive complex of

water sports for a game of beach volleyball or horseshoes.

Culture & Art
Sculpture on the Avenues
Come explore the sculptures that have transformed
the City of Effingham’s avenues into an art gallery!
Over 30 sculptures created by some of the Midwest’s
best known and unknown sculptors bring life to the
streets of Effingham as part of the annual Sculpture on
the Avenues outdoor exhibition.
Going into its 10th year, Sculpture on the Avenues
is a self-guided walking tour that begins at Effingham
City Hall, located at 201 E. Jefferson Ave. From there, the
exhibition winds in and out of Downtown Effingham.
The Sculpture on the Avenue program began in
1997 when the Effingham Community Committee for
the Arts formed and raised over $60,000 to commission
Leonardo Nierman’s Flame of Hope. The Flame of Hope
stands prominently in front of the west entrance of City
Hall and is the first piece featured on the walking tour.
Each year, new sculptures are chosen with the
thought of capturing the imagination and appealing to
a variety of tastes. There’s fun, whimsy and stark lines
and edges - reality and abstract, as well. The pieces
are placed to be accessible, to be touched, and to be
viewed from every angle.
Residents and visitors wholeheartedly embrace
the event. Several sculptures have found permanent
homes in Effingham and the surrounding area.
An informative brochure, which facilitates a walking
tour, is available at Effingham hotels, downtown
businesses, the Effingham Tourism Office, and in
a convenient display outside City Hall at 201 E.
Jefferson Ave. The guide to the Sculptures can also be
downloaded at www.visiteffinghamil.com.

History
Effingham County Courthouse
The historic Effingham County Courthouse was built in 1871, on the site
of the 1850’s courthouse, which tragically burned to the ground in March
1869, reducing all the county’s records to ash.
The courthouse, located on the square in downtown Effingham, was the
fourth one built in Effingham County and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. The historical structure was built in Second Empire style and
is made of brick, stone and wood with 18-inch outside walls. Special features of the building are stone window headers with keystones above each
window and a mansard roof with dormers.
The building was the working courthouse for Effingham County up until
2007, when Effingham County constructed a new courthouse two blocks
west of this structure.
Monuments recognizing the history of the city and county can also be
viewed on the lawn surrounding the historic courthouse. Over the years,
there have been several theories on how Effingham was named. One
suggests it was to honor Lord Effingham, a British noble, who resigned his
commission rather than take up arms against the colonies in the Revolutionary War. A monument to Lord Effingham stands on the northeast corner of
the courthouse square. The southwest corner of the square is dedicated to
honoring war veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
The courthouse is the site of special events, including the Artisan Fair and
Old Fashion Christmas. For more information, call 800-772-0750.
Heart Theatre
Across the street from the old
courthouse is the Heart Theatre, a 1930’s
landmark. The theatre is one of two
examples in Effingham of the Art Deco
style that was popular from 1920 to
1940. The cream and maroon terra-cotta
tiles are a perfect foil for the neon and
marquee lights.

home as a museum.
Many of the original furnishings,
including carpets, remain in the 18
rooms on the tour. The doctor’s
surgery, the nursery and library are
particularly memorable.

History and Genealogy
Cemeteries in this part of Illinois date to the earliest pioneers, who traveled
the newly built National Road to a new life in a new land. These prairie fields are
the final resting place of farmers, statesmen, lawmen, thieves, heroes, villains,
and ordinary folk - all part of the fabric of our history.
The Effingham Genealogy Society continue to work to preserve the history of
our region and have established a collection of works that are available at the
Helen Matthew Library, 100 E. Market Ave. Members of the Genealogy Society
also are available from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays to assist
those who are exploring the history of our region.
For more information about services, please contact the Genealogy Society
at 217-342-2464 or the Effingham Tourism Department at 217-342-5310.
Oakridge Cemetery
East Jefferson Ave, Exit 159
This non-denominational city
cemetery is the final resting place
of many fascinating figures from
Effingham’s stories past.
Ada Kepley, the first woman law
graduate in the United States. Mrs.
Kepley was an ardent advocate
of women’s rights and friend of
Susan B. Anthony. She published a
newspaper, and wrote books and
songs. Mrs. Kepley was also a zealous
prohibitionist, whose numerous
detractors chafed at her activism. One
was driven to make an attempt on her
life!
Lying in wait for the Kepleys, to
return home late one night, the
perpetrator shot at, but missed, Mrs.
Kepley as she ascended the stairs to
her downtown home. Mrs. Kepley
was not unscathed, as unfortunately,
the shot hit her dog.
Col. John J. Funkhouser, a Civil War
veteran, was offered the office of Secretary of War by President Grant, but
he declined. He later became the first
mayor of Effingham. Col. Funkhouser’s
father, Senator
Presley Funkhouser, had considerable

influence in the decision to move
the county seat from Ewington to
Effingham, spelling the demise of
Ewington.
Mary (Mother) Newcomb came to
Effingham during the Civil War, after
her husband, Hiram, enlisted in the
11th Illinois Infantry. She was 44 years
old at the time.
After Hiram was wounded in battle,
Mary brought her husband back
to Effingham, but he died shortly
after, on February 26, 1862. Fulfilling
his dying wish, Mary returned to
the regiment to nurse the sick and
wounded soldiers until the end of the
war. Mary visited the Lincoln White
House and had a visit on the porch
with Mr. Lincoln.
Another resident with a strong
Lincoln connection was Catherine
(Katie) McPherson Kelly Clutter, who
was born in Washington D.C. Katie
remained in Washington City while her
husband, Tom Kelly, was on detached
duty during the Civil War. Katie - a
personal friend of Mary Todd Lincoln
- frequently cared for “Little Tad.” Tom
Kelly died in 1876, and in 1879, Katie
married Noah D. Clutter of Effingham.
Meet these and many other
fascinating figures during the annual
cemetery walk, “Glimpses of the Past.”
The Grand Army of the Republic
soldiers memorial is located in the
north section of Oakridge Cemetery.
Historical figures can be seen at many of Effingham’s annual events, including the
Old Fashion Christmas on the old Courthouse Square the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

National Road
It was a superhighway of dirt, rock, and timber.
In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson signed
legislation creating a National Road funded solely
by the federal government, a first at the time.
With westward expansion on the lips
of a nation busting at the seams, this road
would provide a route from Cumberland,
Maryland to Pennsylvania, Virginia (later
West Virginia), Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.
Because of its point of origin, it was
often referred to as the Cumberland Trail
although other popular names included
the National Pike, the National Trail, and
the National Road.
Albert Gallatin, Jefferson’s Secretary
of the Treasury, championed the project
by securing funding through the sale
of western public lands to settlers.
Construction began in 1811 and after
years of tedious labor the project reached
Illinois where Joseph Shriver began
surveying in 1828 from the Indiana
border to the Mississippi River. Shriver
noted the scarcity of homes and even
42
had an encounter with Indians. The
path of the road brought it to Vandalia,
our state capitol from 1819 until 1839.
William C. Greenup served as construction
superintendent in Illinois and was faced
with a monumental challenge of finding
laborers.
With the exception of the occasional
crushed rock or timber-laden “corduroy”
sections, the Illinois National Road was
a dirt path dotted with tree stumps cut
low enough that a wagon could easily
navigate over them. A heavy rain would
transform the National Road to a muddy
trail sometimes forcing travelers to find
an alternative path. People came to
Illinois on the National Road in wagons,
stagecoaches, and horseback. Sometimes
they would stop at an inn for a hot meal
and to visit with other travelers. Beds
were at a premium so it wasn’t unusual to
sleep on the floor.
Transporting goods by river was now
passé as the National Road provided a
new route for commerce. Conestoga
wagons, the forerunner to the semi-truck,
brought valuable goods to the settlers
and towns that began popping up along
the road. A typical Conestoga was 26 feet
long, twelve feet high, and weighed more
than a ton. Not wanting to surrender
valuable space, the teamster driving the
rig often sat on an exterior lazy board near
the handbrake.
From 1830 to 1840, Illinois’
population more than doubled with
the National Road playing a major
role. The railroad’s emergence in the
1850s plus the lack of maintenance of
the National Road saw its popularity
deteriorate. However, by the early 20th
century the rise of the automobile and
bicycle created a demand for improved
roads. The National Road rose from the
transportation scrapbook to become the
blueprint for an ocean to ocean route
known as U.S. Route 40.
Today the Illinois National Road
stretches 164 miles from the Indiana
border to the Mississippi River in East St.
Louis and encompasses seven counties--Clark, Cumberland, Effingham, Fayette,
Bond, Madison, and St. Clair. Many of
the communities owe its origin to the
National Road bringing the settlers that
turned prairieland to civilization.
The Illinois National Road Association
promotes the roadway and activities on
the roadway. For more information on
the roadway or on upcoming events, visit
www.nationalraod.org or call 888-2680042.
