New Salem

New Salem is a reconstruction of a village where Lincoln lived from 1831 to 1837.  He was first elected to the General Assembly while living here.



We walked through the village and were able to walk through or peek in the cabins.




There were people dressed in period costumes who were there to answer questions and give us some insight into life back in those days.








There were several school groups there but they moved through pretty quickly.  Otherwise it was pretty quiet.






It was another beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting New Salem!

Just got back from a wonderful trip to Washington, D.C.  Will recap that trip soon!
