Learning more about Lincoln
A long standing interest in history and the desire, “To get away for a few days” led this Reporter, hubby and daughter on a weekend trip to Springfield, 111. We wanted to learn more about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Springfield is a five-hour drive from the Lakeland area of Kosciusko County. Most of the things we wanted to see are open on Saturday and Sunday and there is no admission charge. We got information in advance and selected things to see that would fit our time schedule and main interests. \ Our first stop, on Saturday morning, was the Lincoln Home Visitor Center. There we saw a movie about the life of Lincoln, browsed through the book shop and viewed exhibits. From the Center we went on a guided tour of the Lincoln home. The Lincoln Home National Historic Site is administered by the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service. The Lincolns bought the house in 1844 and lived there for 17 years. The Lincoln’s first son, Robert, was born, before the home was purchased. Their three other sons, Edward, William and Thomas were born in the home and Edward died thereK

The furniture, decor and size of the house reflects Lincoln’s prospering law practice. The structure is located in a four city block historic zone of twelve, 1860 era homes, in downtown Springfield. Robert Todd Lincoln donated the home to the State of Illinois in 1887. The afternoon was spent at the Illinois State Museum looking at magnificent wild life exhibits, rock and mineral displays, ancient and historic glassware collections, art, fossils, antiques and miniatures. A display of American Indiana artifacts and a complete Indian village with life size wax figures, was drawing a lot of /attention from museum visitors. On Sunday we headed for New Salem Village State Historic Site, about 20 miles from Springfield and stopped on the way to see Lincoln’s tomb. Lincoln spent six years of his early adulthood at the pioneer village of New Salem. It was there that he clerked in a store, served as postmaster, chopped wood, worked as deputy surveyor, enlisted in the Black Hawk War, failed in business and was elected to the Illinois General Assembly. The village, containing 24 log
houses and buildings, has been carefully and authentically reproduced using old documents and archaeological exploration as research guides. The Onstot Copper Shop is the only original building at New Salem. It was found at a nearby town and returned to the original foundation in 1922. The homes and businesses have been furnished as they were in the 1830 s. Some items are original and were actually used by the New Salem people. Also on display are pieces of early American pewter, woodenware, wheat cradles, candle molds, rope beds, handmade furniture, iron cooking utensils and hand tools. One small building served as the community church and school house. Most settlers did a bit of farming and some hunting and fishing to supplement their chosen occupations. New Salem contained several general merchandise stores, a tavern, black smith’s shop, leather worker, and cabinet maker, ferry boat, wheelwright, cobbler and hatcher. In 1832 rabbit fur hats sold for 50 cents each and coon skin hats were $2. Wooden barrels cost 40 cents to $1 and water buckets

were $1.50. It cpst 30 cents to 85 cents per month to send a child to subscription school. Tavern rates were fixed by law at 37-and-a-half cents per day for a meal and overnight stay. Time didn’t permit going to see the other historic homes in Springfield, the Botanical Gardens, /
