Woodford County

Named after Brigadier General William Woodford, who died as a prisoner of the British in the American Revolution, Woodford County has been at the center of American history from its beginnings. Two former United States presidents spent time in this county--Abraham Lincoln, who practiced law in Metamora, and Ronald Reagan, who studied at Eureka College. Today, visitors can still walk in these past presidents' footsteps at the Metamora Courthouse State Historic Site and on the Eureka College Campus in the Ronald Reagan Museum.
