About this location

Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site near Petersburg, Illinois preserves the 1830s frontier village where a young Abraham Lincoln worked as a store clerk, postmaster, and militia captain—coming of age in a rough Illinois settlement. The 12 reconstructed log cabins, Rutledge Tavern, Onstot Cooper Shop, and period frontier streetscape create an authentic early 19th-century Illinois village requiring minimal set dressing for period productions. The surrounding rural Illinois landscape of rolling prairie and woodland reinforces frontier-era atmosphere. Both interior and exterior filming available across all village structures and grounds. Perfect for Lincoln-era biographical drama, early 19th-century frontier narratives, and documentary productions exploring the formative years of America's 16th president. A premier Illinois film location for antebellum frontier storytelling. Filming permits available through Illinois DNR Special Use Permit Office. Illinois DNR Special Use Permit required for commercial filming.
