Description
At Abraham Lincoln's New Salem State Park, a red sun sunflower soaks up warm afternoon sunlight.
New Salem is the historically recreated townsite of Abraham Lincoln's 19th century, frontier village in Menard County, Illinois, United States. During his 20s, in the 1830s, this was the homestead of the future U.S. President. Here, Lincoln earned a living as a boatman, shopkeeper, soldier in the Black Hawk War, general store owner, postmaster, land surveyor, and rail splitter, and was first elected to the Illinois General Assembly. Lincoln moved away to the nearby capital of Springfield around 1837.
