Mechanicsburg Cleanup and Restoration

Mechanicsburg is a village in Sangamon County, Illinois, United States. It is part of the Springfield, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area. The village of Mechanicsburg, Illinois was found in 1832 by William Pickrel, who offered free town lots to any "mechanic" who would build a dwelling and pay for the title. The term "mechanic" likely referred to a blacksmith or wheelwright. The town got its name from this offer. 

Abraham Lincoln was a regular visitor to the Mechanicsburg area — William Pickrel and his brother Jesse were friends and supporters of Lincoln. In 1854, the citizens raised the money and built the Academy, a two-story brick building…. School opened with four teachers, and pupils came from all parts of the country to attend. For several years our town was quite an educational center.
