They took place in the Summer of 1858 in seven different towns in Illinois: Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy, and Alton. These are seven of the nine congressional districts of Illinois. The other two (Springfield and Chicago) were left out because both candidates had already spoken in them within days of each other.
