  • Great historical album, the buildings look very well maintained. Congratulations on the feature. I see the reference to Abe Lincoln, my album of Norfolk - Nth America connections has some buildings in it connected with his forefathers before they left UK. Eric

  • Congrats! on WS feature! I'v not gone to the New Salem site in years, I went on a school trip with my son. We did the tour of the Lincoln homes in Springfield two years ago and really enjoyed it! Loved the other Il and Wisconsen albums also. Lynn from Moline Il.

  • Thanks for taking me back in time (not as far as Lincoln, but close, lol). I grew up in this area and my family was part of a B&W TV show hosted by Dave Garroway in the 50's that had all of us enacting the residents of New Salem. Thanks again for the memories. Great photos.
