History
President-elect Abraham Lincoln's train stopped in Pittsburgh Junction on its way to Washington, D.C. in 1860. There is an Ohio historical marker in this small crossroads commemorating the event. Lincoln spoke briefly to the crowd and lunched at a small hotel which no longer exists. Unfortunately, his words were not recorded for posterity.
