Mt. Pulaski is located in central Illinois in Logan County about 10 miles south-southeast of Lincoln and 25 miles northeast of Springfield. The population estimate for July 1, 1998 was 1,560, a decrease of 50 since 1990. Nearby recreation includes visits to Mt. Pulaski Historical Site to the west of town and Edward R. Madigan State Park just south of Lincoln. One of the highlights of summer is the Mt. Pulaski Bluegrass Festival featuring lively entertainment over a 2-day period delivered by about 10 regional Bluegrass bands. Included in the festivities are clogging exhibitions and lessons--always a crowd favorite.
