Description: A photographic print displaying a half-completed construction site for the 1933 Chicago State Fair exhibit based on the life of Abraham Lincoln called “The Life and Lore of Lincoln.” Once the exhibit is completed it will display five reconstructed structures to signify key moments in the life of Lincoln before becoming president. First, the small log cabin represented the one room cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky where Lincoln was born to parents Thomas and Nancy Lincoln on February 12, 1809. Next, a larger log cabin represents the log cabin where Lincoln grew up in Little Pigeon Creek, Indiana with his family. Next, the exhibit included a reconstructed log cabin of the Berry-Lincoln Store general store from New Salem, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln and his partner, William Berry, owned the store which served as a general store and post office for the people of New Salem during the 1830s. Next, the exhibit also includes a reconstruction inspired by Rutledge Tavern from New Salem, Illinois. James Rutledge was one of the founders of New Salem and established the Rutledge Tavern and Inn, where Abraham Lincoln first stayed when he first arrived to New Salem. This is where, Lincoln fell in love with James Rutledge’s daughter, Ann. But, tragically she died at a young age and devastating a young Abraham Lincoln. The final reconstructed building included in the exhibit is of the Wigwam convention center in Chicago, Illinois. This is where Lincoln was nominated for Republican presidency candidate in 1860. From the photograph, the three most noticeable structures are the reconstructed small one-room cabin where Lincoln was born, his family home from Little Pigeon Creek, and the Wigwam center. The photograph is a close-up view of the reconstructed log cabin where Lincoln was born in and his childhood home. View on Ohio Memory.
