[October 09, 2025]
LINCOLN, IL – The Logan County Tourism Bureau (LCTB) is
proud to announce the appointment of Wanda Lee Rohlfs as its new
Executive Director. A lifelong resident of Logan County and a familiar
face in community development, historic preservation, and tourism
initiatives, Rohlfs brings a wealth of experience and passion to the
role.
Rohlfs steps into leadership at a pivotal moment for LCTB, as the
organization launches a renewed vision to strengthen local tourism and
highlight the county’s unique heritage. Her first major accomplishment
as director has already set the tone for what’s ahead: securing a
$32,000 state grant to create new marketing initiatives that will
showcase the historic sites and tourist destinations across Logan
County’s 11 communities.
“We are thrilled that Wanda has already secured this $32,000 state grant
and excited for what’s to come,” said Molly Pickering, Board President.
“Tourism has the power to drive economic growth in Logan County, but the
best results come when the community itself helps shape the solutions.
Wanda will be working closely with village leaders, local businesses,
and residents to ensure this grant—and all future initiatives—reflect
the needs and vision of our communities.”
To celebrate this new chapter, the Bureau will host an Open House at its
new headquarters in The Mill on Route 66 (327 Washington Street,
Lincoln, IL) on Saturday, October 18th at 10:00 a.m. The community is
invited to tour the new space, learn more about upcoming initiatives,
and connect with Rohlfs and the Bureau’s team.
Rohlfs’ background includes service as Executive Director of Main Street
Lincoln, where she played a key role in the Looking for Lincoln program,
celebrating Abraham Lincoln’s legacy in the region. She has also served
as a Lincoln City Alderman for eight years and has been actively
involved in numerous civic, professional, and national organizations.

“The stories,
history, and character of Logan County are what make us truly

visitors while also strengthening our communities through
tourism and economic development. This grant provides us with a
strong foundation to build on by shining a spotlight on the rich
history and unique attractions in each of our communities.”
For more than 25 years, the Logan County Tourism Bureau has
promoted the county’s diverse communities and attractions. With
