Great history lesson for Lincoln devotees.I will be 72 years of age and first visited New Salem at age 10.I have returned many times over the years.It is a very special place indeed !When you put your head inside any of the buildings, there is a unique aroma of patina that was there when I was 10 and is still the same after all the years I have visited.You must come here at least once in your life as it is so beautiful and idyllic. You will love it as I have all through the years. db
Camped there in Boy Scouts..after getting my license went there many times..once during winter I was walking through the village and smelled wood smoke..in Rutledge tavern a decent was baking bread open hearth..just she and I as it was dead of winter..will always remember that..live in Indiana now but make a trek to New Salem whenever I can..I cannot explain my affinity...it JUST is
grew up in Springfield and have probably been there over a hundred times..anytime we come to Springfield..have to visit there,.something about new salem
