Samuel Hill Cabin Interior New Salem State Park New Salem Illinois Postcard

Description: Samuel Hill Cabin Interior New Salem State Park New Salem Illinois Postcard Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site preserves the site of New Salem village, where young Abraham Lincoln lived for six formative years, from 1831 to 1837. Platted in 1829, the town existed for about twelve years before being abandoned and left to pasture. The centerpiece of Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site is the imaginative recreation of the log village. Built in the 1930s and 1940s as a Civilian Conservation Corps program, the village features twenty-three historically furnished buildings, including several homes, stores, and tradesmen's shops, as well as a tavern, school, wool carding mill, and a saw- and gristmill. Scattered throughout the village are log barns and other outbuildings. Samuel Hill was born in New Jersey in 1800 and came to New Salem in 1829 where he started a store in partnership with John McNamar. Hill was a small slender man with an irascible temperament but usually gallant to the ladies. After the dissolution of his partnership in 1832, Hill expanded his investments by erecting a carding mill in the spring of 1835. That July, Hill married Parthena Nance from nearby Farmer's Point. By 1840 Hill had moved his family and store to nearby Petersburg. Thomas Dexter Press 1934-1977 West Nyack, NY. 63826-B dated 1962: Thomas A. Dexter opened his first printshop in Park Ridge, NJ in 1920. He moved to Pearl River, NY eight years later, and by the 1930’s he was producing postcards, mostly linens but also black & white and hand colored cards covering a wide variety of subjects. Although an early pioneer of natural color images, the firms output seems to have only turned exclusively to photochromes after they moved to West Nyack, NY around 1952 when their old shop grew too small. Most of the photochromes printed by Dexter Press bore the words Genuine Natural Color. Penrod/Hiawatha is a well known name associated with postcards and souvenirs serving the tourist retail industry in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Established in 1958, with just a limited quantity of post cards, the company soon became well known in Michigan. Hiawatha has been a well known name associated with postcards and souvenirs. The Hiawatha Card Company was founded in 1954 by Don & Lucy Gridley from Ypsilanti, Michigan. John and Alice Penrod, who operated a photography studio, became involved in creating picture postcards in 1958. When Don and Lucy Gridley decided to retire in 1969, they sold the Hiawatha Card Company to John & Alice Penrod of Berrien Center, Michigan. Please review the photos carefully for condition and detail. Normal wear associated with an old postcard have creases, corner bumps, scratches, ink on the front etc.
