Summary

Description

The Lincoln-Berry store is one of the reconstructed buildings at New Salem, a state historic site. Abraham Lincoln and William Berry were partners in this general store. It is the only frame building in New Salem.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), who was President during the Civil War, lived in New Salem for six years, from the age of 22 on. He worked at a number of jobs, including rail splitter, surveyor, postmaster, store clerk, partner in a store, and member of the Illinois General Assembly. He was also in the Army during a very minor incident involving Indians, called the Blackhawk War. New Salem, which is about 20 miles (30 km) northwest of Springfield, has been rebuilt as it looked in the 1830s.
