The Senator’s Inn and Pub in Savoy, IL, a few miles south of Champaign-Urbana. The beautiful brick building was built in 1915 and is the former mansion of Senator Henry M. Dunlap. Today, it is a gracious facility. The original house on this property, owned by Matthias Dunlap was said to have been visited by Abraham Lincoln and was used as a stop on the Underground Railroad for fleeing slaves. At one time, the current 25 room house was the largest in the community.The Senator’s Inn and Pub in Savoy, IL, a few miles south of Champaign-Urbana.
