Hi, my name is Michael Koehnke and I took Sarah to the Halfway House Tavern in Iuka, Il. This historic cite is 88.64 miles from 625 Wham Drive, Carbondale, Il. Its exact coordinates are 38.629 longitude and -88,775 latitude. The Tavern is the halfway point between St. Louis, Mo. and Vincennes, Indiana. In the 1700 and 1800's it was a popular trading post and resting point for travels heading in either direction. It is rumored that Abraham Lincoln stopped at the Halfway House Tavern on more than on occasion.
