This is an important place. PLEASE do not close it. It is not only history but true family time to visit New Salem. Lincoln is important to this area. And to see his home and how they lived is what many kids need to see. Learning is easier if history is seen and not just read. Closing it will take another important learning tool from your youth and adults from around the world.

They want to improve our childrens education but in the same tone they want to destroy it, you need to reconsider your decision that's our history and our furtureof our children.

It teaches them facts about Abarham Lincoln and the people and what they had to do to live. That is why i think you should keep New Salem open and it is one of my favorite places to go.

Thank you,

NO bonuses the same fate I have suffered in my professional career. The Goverment is not above going through trying finacial times. The elected official should be experiencing the same hardships as the people who voted them in.
The park is a part of all our lives and needs to be there so it can become a part of our childrens lives. If the park raises money it should have access to the money to help maintain the park.
