Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Girl Scouts at New Salem State Park, Illinois
New Salem-where the spirit of Lincoln still lives
Lincoln drifted into New Salem in 1831, a gangling,
raw-boned youth, uncertain as to a career. Here he
served as postmaster and surveyor . . . courted Ann
Rutledge . . . soldiered . . . entered politics. And here,
in this rude frontier village, the seeds of greatness first
sprouted. When he left six years later, he was on his
way to keep a date with destiny.
Today’s youth, visiting the hamlet above the Sangamon
River, can see the village just as young Lincoln
saw it. The cooperage where he studied law . . . the
store where he clerked – over 30 buildings in all have
been faithfully reconstructed and authentically fur-
nished with heirlooms of the Lincoln period.
They gave Lincoln a fine tomb down at Springfield
and a magnificent memorial in Washington. And on a
South Dakota mountainside you can see his face carved
70 feet high, and a fine sight it is. But New Salem,
with its rough simplicity and quiet dignity, is most like
the man himself.
When you go there you'll know why people say that
his body is down at Springfield - but his spirit is at
New Salem.
