Tuscumbia is a ghost town in Bernadotte Township, Fulton County, Illinois, USA that sprang up in the township and was platted by Wade Hampton on 2 March 1837.〔Tuscumbia. paper town. In SE 1/4, Sec. 17 Bernadotte Twp. Platted in 1837 by Wade Hampton Davis (Heylin 692); perhaps named "for a Chickasaw Indian chief" (Gannett 306) Also name of postoffice (Adams 529)〕 It consisted of 54 lots. It flourished for a while and had a school, but by 1855 was abandoned. A sign on County Road 14, known as the Bernadotte blacktop, nine miles west of Lewistown, Illinois, is the only remnant.〔Historic Fulton County: Sights and Scenes—Past and Present, Printed by Mid-County Press, INC. 1973, Page 20〕 ==History== Illinois was experiencing rapid settlement during the time of the settlement, and the timeframe of Tuscumbia coincides with the career of Abraham Lincoln. In 1838, Lincoln visited the county seat Lewistown nine miles east of the Tuscumbia area extending the range of his law practice. A Lincoln-Douglas debate occurred in August 1858 in Lewistown.
