Logan County Genealogical and
Historical Society to host program on New Salem Village Sep. 15
[September 15, 2025]
The Logan County Genealogical
and Historical Society will host a program on September 15, 2025, by
Trevor Thompson, Site Services Specialist at New Salem Village,
Petersburg. Most of us have visited the Village, a reproduction of
the frontier settlement where Abraham Lincoln lived for a few years,
where he clerked at the store, and where he began his journey into
adulthood. Thompson will give an overview of the major maintenance
project which recently updated the buildings and addressed
preservation issues. Thompson will share information about the
Village that will give behind- the-scenes details we thought we
knew.
