New Salem

A bit off the beaten path, New Salem is a great place to spend a few hours in a friendly atmosphere not crowded in with tons of tourists. Restored back in the Depression era to look much as it did when the young Lincoln was a shopkeeper, rather than an attorney, the buildings and the sights are refreshing and interesting. Mark it down, stop by New Salem for a look at Lincoln's life before fame.

A few more photos from New Salem in the next post.
