Lincoln Log Cabin

okay, so all the charlestonians have probably been to Lincoln Log Cabin before. BUT being that i have only lived here about 2.5 yrs i had never been. so brandon took the girls and i there on Sunday and we had a BLAST! it was a cool mixture between a fun outing and a really neat history lesson, too. i mean, there were workers there, dressed in the 1800's garb, working and carrying on like they would have. it was really, really neat. sophia found a kitten she liked and they had mulberries that we kept eating (new dress is definitely stained)

I was really neat to see the actual house where Abraham Lincoln lived with his family, their farm where they worked. i swear, it actually took me back to the 1800's when i walked in that house and there was a woman in a rocker with a long dress and bonnett holding her cat.

They also have the museum there, inside the Visitor's Center. They had some really cool, interesting items in there too. Like the Stephen Sargent Loom.

The Sargent house is on the premesis too, and we took a tour of that also. It was a much more modern house of the 1800's, contrasting to the simplicity of the Lincoln Cabin. It was really neat as well!

Here is a picture of Sophia taking a stroll up to the Sargent house. SO cute!
