Land of Lincoln Awaits --- to be found all around you

New Salem

One of the restored cabins of New Salem

If you are a kid you may find Lincoln by being able to run around. The New Salem historic site fits the bill. There is an adajent camp ground and picnic area. Woodall's Camping Guide

New Salem does not always have re-enactors present

New Salem is the reconstructed village that was Lincoln's home before he took up a law practice in Springfield. I enjoy it especially in the Fall. The State of Illinois reconstructed the village trying to situate it as it was in the 1830's. New Salem like many a town that started in pioneer Illinois winked out.

This Lincoln reads in all weather. Another possibe lodging is a B&B in nearby Petersburg IL
