New Salem, the village where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1831 to 1837, sat on the Sangamon River in central Illinois and was a frontier settlement of only a few dozen households at its height. Lincoln arrived as a young man looking for work, and he clerked in a store, ran a mill, split rails, and studied law here while he worked his way toward a career in politics. The site, now reconstructed and preserved in Illinois, shows the modest log buildings and daily routines of that period, and it is a useful reminder of how much of Lincoln's early life unfolded in such small frontier communities.
