FOREAVOED
This descriptive booklet and catalog has been published by the
State of Illinois for a twofold purpose; to acquaint visitors with the
village and its restoration, and in recognition of those who so generously
donated their cherished relics.
The resoration of the village, together with the furnishing of the
cabins, has been a task of great magnitude. Hundreds of articles were
donated, collected, repaired, delivered and placed in position. The
history concerning each relic was carefully noted and recorded, but,
because of the necessary pressure to finish on time, it is possible that
some mistakes have been made. We ask your kind indulgence. In a
future edition, these errors will be corrected; also those articles re-
ceived since this booklet went to press, will be acknowledged.
Many articles have a definite history which establishes their authen-
ticity. Others are easily recognized as being over one hundred years
old. However, some have an indefinite record and character, but were
accepted because of the splendid spirit with which they were given and
consequently have found their place in the restoration. These doubtful
articles will be studied carefully by experts at a later date and those
found to be of a later period will be marked accordingly.
There are museums throughout the United States which contain
fine period rooms and exhibits. However, this is, without doubt, the
finest and most comprehensive collection of Early American and Pioneer
relics ever assembled. Nowhere is the setting so complete and authentic.
The town, the only memorial of its kind, ever erected in honor of a
great man, will be a shrine for generations to come. At no other loca-
tion will the spirit of Abraham Lincoln be so close and real.

NEW SALEM
In the fall of 1828, James Eutledge and John
Camron erected homes on this hill. The following year
they built a grist and saw mill on the Sangamon River,
just below the hill, laid out the town of New Salem and
began to sell lots. The mill became so popular that the
town grew rapidly and flourished for several years, al-
though it never included more than one hundred inhabi-
tants. With the founding and growth of Petersburg, two
miles to the north and more accessibly located, its decline
began. When the seat of the new County of Menard was
located at Petersburg in 1839, New Salem quickly passed
out of existence.
Abraham Lincoln resided at New Salem from the
summer of 1831 until the spring of 1837, supporting him-
self successively as clerk and mill-hand, soldier in the
Black Hawk War, store keeper, postmaster and deputy
surveyor. In 1832 he entered politics. Although de-
feated in his first campaign for the Legislature, he was
elected a member of the House of Representatives in
1834 and again in 1836. Throughout his residence at New
Salem, Lincoln strove to perfect his education, studying
grammar, mathematics, and finally law. Upon his ad-
mission to the Bar in March, 1837, he sought greater op-
portunities than New Salem offered, and therefore
removed to Springfield.

State Historical Library.
THE RESTOEATION
The restoration of New Salem, Abraham Lincoln's home from 1831
to 1837, has been under consideration for the past thirty years. The
first active step was taken in 1906, when the citizens of Petersburg en-
gaged the interest of William Kandolph Hearst, who was lecturing at
the Old Salem Chautauqua in Petersburg. Mr. Hearst at that time
purchased the site and conveyed it in trust to the Chautauqua associa-
tion. Later in 1917, the Old Salem Lincoln League was formed at
Petersburg, to carry on research work and keep alive the interest al-
ready aroused. The Chautauqua Association, with Mr. Hearst's consent,
conveyed the site to the State of Illinois, to be used as a State Park, and
in 1918 the League, with funds raised by popular subscription, erected
several cabins on original sites, built a road, marked other cabin sites
and in celebration of the occasion, gave a pageant depicting scenes of
pioneer days.
During the following years the public interest in the Park in-
creased, and visitors from all parts of the United States came annually
to visit the old town site. Finally the movement to restore the town
gained such momentum, that in 1931 the 57th General Assembly passed
a bill appropriating $50,000 to the Department of Public Works and
Buildings, H. H. Cleaveland, Director, for "Permanent Improvements"
at New Salem State Park. In anticipation of the passage of this Bill,
the Division of Architecture and Engineering had already begun the
research work. During the following two years every known source
throwing light on the project was examined and investigated.
The Bill was approved by Governor Emmerson July 2, 1931, and
the following year July 16, he signed the Requisition. During the
following months the information was assembled, checked and analyzed,
plans and specifications were drawn and advertisements for proposals
were published October 21, 1932.
The general contract for the construction of twelve cabins was
awarded to English Brothers, general contractors of Champaign, Illinois,
November 4, 1932; a few days later ground was broken and on No-
vember 17, the corner stone, located in the foundation of the Berry-
Lincoln Store, was laid by Governor Louis L. Emmerson.
At present, thirteen cabins have been restored on their original sites.
The work thus far accomplished is only a portion of the completed
project. It is hoped that in the near future it will be possible to go on
with the work, and restore the first Grist and Saw Mill, Eowan Herndon
house, Onstot's first house and Cooper Shop, and John Camron's house
in the eastern portion of the town. At present, the central portion does
not include the Eutledge Tavern, Herndon Brothers store, and Hill's
Carding Machine and wool house. There is yet to be built in the western
portion, the houses of Isaac Burner, Philemon Morris, Isaac Gollamer
and the Trent Brothers.
It is also hoped that all the old roads may be restored and properly
marked. When the smoke houses, sheds, fences and other minor struc-
2
tures are built and the cabins are surrounded by appropriate old-fash-
ioned planting, the town will really live again.
Reprinted from "Record of the Restoration of New Salem"
By Joseph F. Booton.
It is appropriate that this portion of the Eestoration was completed
during the administration of Governor Henry Horner, who has always
been a student of Lincolniana and is a noted authority on the subject.
The restored town is a part of New Salem State Park which is super-
vised and controlled by the Department of Public Works and Buildings.
Mr. Eobert Kingery, now acting Director of the Department, and during
the early stage of the Eestoration, Secretary of the Board of State Park
Advisors, has taken an active part in the Eestoration since its beginning.
Appreciation is due Dr. C. M. Service, Departmental Inspector of this
Department, for his help and advice.
Guided by Mr. C. Herrick Hammond, Supervising Architect, the
Division of Architecture and Engineering supervised the project through-
out. Under the direction of Mr. Joseph F. Booton, the Division carried
on the research work, prepared the plans and specifications and super-
intended the construction of the restored cabins.
We also wish to acknoAvledge the assistance and counsel of Mr. Paul
Angle, Librarian of the State Historical Library. Appreciation is due
the Abraham Lincoln Association through its President, Mr. Logan Hay,
and Mr. Benjamin Thomas, Secretary, for its cooperation and assistance.
The furniture and relics have been assembled by the Old Salem
Lincoln League of Petersburg. All costs of transportation and repairs
were paid from funds raised by the League. The work, in connection
with the assembling of this collection, has been tremendous and only
those who have had a first hand view of the activities can fully appreciate
the time and effort involved. We are indeed grateful to the various Old
Salem Lincoln League Committees who have worked so hard to bring
about the final results. Great credit is due the Committee on ''Collec-
tion of Cabin Furnishings" especially Mrs. G. D. Warnsing. They
scoured the surrounding countryside for suitable pioneer relics and as-
sembled them in their present form. Appreciation is due Mrs. Henry
E. Pond, who compiled the history concerning each article.
The State of Illinois gratefully acknowledges the kind assistance of
those, too numerous to mention individually, who helped solve the many
perplexing problems. ^

HENRY ONSTOT 'S RESIDENCE
Henry Onstot, cooper, built a two-room house in the Spring of 1835.
Later, needing additional space, he added the frame lean-to. This was
Onstot's third home in the village. He built the first in the eastern por-
tion of town about 1830, upon his arrival in New Salem. From 1833
to 1835 the Onstots lived at the Tavern, which they operated after the
Kutledges moved to Sandridge.
In 1840 Onstot moved to Petersburg and re-erected his home and
cooper shop on Main Street, where he lived and worked for many years.
The large east room was the parlor, dining room and kitchen. The
two west rooms served as bed rooms.

ONSTOT'S COOPER SHOP
Henry Onstot, cooper, erected his second shop while operating The
Eutledge Tavern in 1834. A year later he built his residence to the
west and lived there until 1840. Abraham Lincoln and Isaac Onstot,
the eldest son, were friends and often studied together here by the light
of the fire kindled by the cooper's shavings.
In 1840 the shop was moved to Petersburg, where Onstot carried on
his business for many years. Later weatherboarding was added on the
exterior, larger windows were installed, and it was used as a residence
until 1922, when it was purchased by the Old Salem Lincoln League,
stripped of its weatherboarding and re-erected on this original site.
This cabin will be restored in the near future. A new
chimney will be erected, the windows made smaller, new
doors installed, and the entire structure will be treated with
a preservative. The interior will contain barrels, kegs and
tubs, which will be shown in their various stages, from the
beginning to the completed product.

MILLER AND KELSO RESIDENCE
Joshua Miller, village blacksmith and wagonmaker, and Jack H.
Kelso, fisherman, hunter and philosopher, erected a double house in
1832. They married sisters. Although both were industrious, their efforts
were directed along different lines. Miller was engaged in shoeing horses,
ironing wagons and forging other ironwork, while Kelso was busy fish-
ing, trapping and reading. Lincoln was attracted to Kelso and through
him first became acquainted with the classics of literature. Both
families left New Salem in 1838 or 1839.
The Millers had two children and lived in the two east rooms. The
Kelsos, having no children, lived in the single room on the west. The
open space between served as the dining and sitting porch for both
families during the warmer seasons.
