Story Time at Lincoln Log Cabin 

Plan a visit to Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site Saturday, March 7 at 10:30 a.m. for Saturday Children’s Story Time. Featuring the reading of a historically themed children's book followed by activities and crafts, this free program helps engage youngsters ages 5-10 in American history and bring the stories to life. All youth must be accompanied by an adult.

The story for March 7 is “Sugar Snow” by Laura Ingalls Wilder, illustrated by Doris Ettlinger. It tells the story of making maple syrup and maple sugar, both important foodstuffs for pioneer families. The importance of the ‘sugar bush’ and making maple syrup and sugar led to some of the earliest settlements in the central part of Illinois.

Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site, part of the Abraham Lincoln National Heritage Area, preserves the 19th-century home of Thomas and Sarah Bush Lincoln, father and stepmother of our 16th president. The site is eight miles south of Charleston and is open each Wednesday through Sunday for free public tours.

For more information about the site and its programming call 217-345-1845 or visit www.lincolnlogcabin.org.
