The marker is located on Old route 36 west of Decatur, just east of the intersection that leads to Lincoln Homestead State Park.

From the site of the Lincoln cabin on the Sangamon three miles south of here, to the Wabash River opposite Vincennes, the Lincoln National Memorial Highway follows substantially the route taken by the Lincoln family in their migration from Indiana to Illinois in the Spring of 1830.
