Make the twenty mile car ride north to Lincoln's New Salem State Park. It is a reconstructed village where Honest Abe actually lived from 1831 until 1837. Did you know that Abe owned a very unproductive supply store and was once the post master of this little village? It's true! It is fun to tour the village in the summer when there are often natives dressed in the costume of the time period. The visitor's center has some really interesting exhibits. Sometimes we have even had horse and buggy rides. It depends on the day and the volunteers available. (They also built a McDonald's right in the gift shop, so the food isn't bad either.)
