Readers are invited to travel back in time and explore Carlinville
through more than 200 images from the Macoupin County Historical
Society and Carlinville Public Library archives. From the Million
Dollar Courthouse to the City Free School, this collection of
photographs brings local history home for the approximately 6,000
people who live in the city. Carlinville's past includes tales of
Abraham Lincoln, who once represented clients at the Macoupin
County Courthouse, and W.B. Otwell, who brought thousands here with
his Farmer Boys Round Ups and colorful iris fields. Just as
Carlinville is the seat of Macoupin County, the Carlinville Square
is the heart of Carlinville. An entire chapter, which includes
photographs from a fire that devastated the west side of the square
in 1941, is devoted to this city's epicenter. Additional chapters
feature the MCHS Museum and prominent businesses, places, and
people of the area.
