You just never know what you'll find at Lincoln Log Cabin. Anyone have any funny stories from the site?
Penelope Bingham, food historian, is coming to Lincoln Log Cabin to talk food. She will present her program about cookbooks as primary documents that give us insight into our culture and history. She will relate her findings to the first-person interpretation program and how gender roles have played a significant part in our social history. In her words she states, "talking about food, recipes, and cookbooks is a wonderful way to initiate conversations about American culture and history!"
The program is this Saturday, the 23rd at 2pm in the Visitor Center Auditorium.
Most of you probably know that the original Thomas Lincoln Cabin disappeared after the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. Many of you may know that the reconstructed cabin that stands at Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps(CCC), and completed in 1936. But many of you may not know much about the CCC, or the lives of the men who took part in reconstructing the Thomas Lincoln Cabin. We encourage you to take a look at this webpage, which discusses in great detail the CCC legacy in Coles County, and has a plethora of great photographs of the CCC and the construction of what would become the Lincoln Log Cabin we know and love!

A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.
