If you’re visiting Illinois you very quickly acquire an understanding that Abraham Lincoln is much revered in the state. The Lincoln Log Cabin is but one of the state’s myriad attractions related to the US President of the mid-1800s. Whilst the president himself didn’t live in the cabin (in fact a historically correct replica) his father and step mother did; it is reported that the president did visit and stay there. The cabin itself exemplifies the simplistic life they chose. It is now part of an excellent living heritage site with live farm animals habituating old farm outhouses, enclosures and barns. The site includes an excellent Visitors’ Centre, gift shop, playgrounds and picnic/barbecue facilities. The Lincoln Log Cabin is about 13 km south of Charleston Illinois.

Lincoln Log Cabin State Park is the last home of Abraham Lincoln's father, Thomas Lincoln. It is considered a learning park, as people in period clothing volunteer to be in character. Don't ask directions to I-57 because at Lincoln Log Cabin it doesn't exist yet. The year is 1845, and the reinactors are really good at what they do.

I went this year to their fall frolic festival and was enchanted by the displays, animals, and period clothing. They had some interesting vendor's, and in fact I went both days of the festival. The volunteers are friendly and it is free unless you donate or buy extra items in the gift shop/vendors.Great time and a fun historical venture for Civil War period and Abraham Lincoln fans.

My wife, daughter, and I are regular visitors to Lincoln Log Cabin. As residents of Coles County, we are always amazed at how beautiful the grounds are kept, and how much information is contained within the visitor's center. The interpreters are always willing to provide additional information regarding the settlement, and it is always fun to watch the variety of animals who live there. If you are visiting Illinois in order to experience Lincoln history, do not miss Lincoln Log Cabin. While in the area, I would also suggest visiting the Lincoln-Douglas Debate Museum in Charleston.

I'd been here once - probably 15+ years ago. That said, we were on the way back to Chicago from a downstate trip and decided to do a midway stop. Really glad I did. Had my wife and 2 kids: aged 17 and 11. Huge change from the little place of many years back. We saw:- Insights on Lincoln and his family- What life was like in the 1800s- A recreation of the grounds with a cabin; other outbuildings; and even some animals- The house of the people who were a lot more progressive than Thomas Lincoln; so how affluent people lived- A great spot to take a few hours out of the car on a 6+ hour drive.

neat to stop by part of our country's history, in this case a distant attachment to Lincoln himself. Nice set up but cabin is not really Lincoln's. It was his brother's maybe, the original Lincoln cabin was dad's, but it was lost in the Chicago World's Fair from the 1800's, and this is a substitute. We felt led to believe it the Prez homestead, but no , he may have never even lived here as a kid.

If you are a Lincoln buff, then this state park is a worthwhile park to visit. It is also great for family picnics with all of the picnic and playground facilities available. It is close to Mattoon, IL just off Interstate 57 in central IL. The Lincoln log cabin & out buildings are a replica of the original farm and this is the last farm where Thomas Lincoln lived. Abraham Lincoln never lived on this farm. However, it is a good example of farms of the early 1800s. Also in the park is a more well to do farmstead. There are live animals and sometimes living history characters to help one feel like you are truly visiting the past. Special activity days are a lot of fun for families.

The Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic site is a 0.3 square kilometre history park located eight miles (13 km) south of Charleston, Illinois, near the town of Lerna. Its centrepiece is a replica of the log cabin built and occupied by Thomas Lincoln, father of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. The younger Lincoln never lived here and visited infrequently.The farm is a working farm with animals from the period, and staff dressed in period costum. Great place to see how we used live during the early years of colonisation in the USA.

This is a museum/working farm. Interesting if you like history. Or quilts. They have some stunning quilts displayed here. The museum exhibits are quite well done and interactive to hold the little one's attention. You can take a short walk through the farm and tour the cabins and see people dressed in period garb. There a re few animals, as well. Especially great for kids as they can be outdoors and a bit louder than in a usual museum. I believe there is also a picnic grove, too.
