Flintlock rifles on display at Fort Lamotte at Palestine, IL, during Fort Lamotte Days April 26, 2009. The original fort was built about 1812. Palestine is the oldest town in Illinois and its residents are very aware of their heritage. The fort has been reconstructed, based on information and written accounts from the 1812 time frame. This was the first year for "Fort Lamotte Days," an event organizers hope to hold annually.
