Lincoln's New Salem
Featuring The Wool
& Carding Mill

Abraham Lincoln’s young adult years were spent in New Salem, Illinois, a village of log buildings where he served as postmaster and the owner of two stores. To many, the most memorable building in the reconstructed village is the wool house, where yoked animals walked on a large wheel to power the carding mill. A drawing of the mill by Illinois artist Karen Williams has been adapted for the design of this 24-karat gold-plated ornament, and a signed and numbered certificate with a brief history of New Salem accompanies each ornament.
