Nancy
Lincoln
on

,

.
Next

larger
log
cabin
represents

log
cabin

.
Next
, the

included
a

general
store

post
office
for the

a
reconstruction
inspired
by

Tavern

one
of the
founders

Salem
and
established
the

Tavern
and
Inn
,
where

Lincoln
first
stayed
when
he
first
arrived
to
New
Salem
. This
is
where
,
Lincoln
fell
in
love
with
James
Rutledge’s
daughter
,
Ann
. But,
tragically
she
died
at a
young
age
and
devastating
a
young
Abraham
Lincoln
. The
final
reconstructed
building
included
in the
exhibit
is
of the
Wigwam
convention
center
in
Chicago
,
Illinois
. This
is
where
Lincoln
was
nominated
for
Republican
presidency
candidate
in1860
. From the
photograph
, the
three
most
noticeable
structures
are the
reconstructed
small
one-room
cabin
where
Lincoln
was
born
, his
family
home
from
Little
Pigeon
Creek
, and the
Wigwam
center
.
