Lincoln's New Salem

We took a road trip to Petersburg, Il to visit Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site. Lincoln lived in this pioneer village from 1831-1837.

Many of the structures were rebuilt over the original sites back in the early1930's.

The kids have been here many times for school field trips. In fact I was here a "few" years ago for a school field trip, 3rd grade I believe. Lots of interesting history!
