Many sites are closing at 4
p.m. instead of 5 p.m. Outdoor sites such as Lincoln's New Salem
close at 4 p.m. during November through February because of
darkness. Some other sites close at 4 p.m. because visitation
drops off dramatically in late afternoon during the winter, and
staff use the 4 to 5 p.m. hour to maintain the site's
collections. Most sites are currently open five days per week but
will increase to seven days per week from the middle of spring
through Labor Day 2006 as a result of a budget initiative by Gov.
Rod Blagojevich.
