Kinmundy, Illinois


The small town of Kinmundy, in southern Illinois, is home to Ingram's Pioneer Log Cabin Village. Here, in a secluded forest, more than a dozen pre-Civil War cabins have been moved, carefuly restored and reassembled. Several contain period furniture.It is an interesting place because of its' authentic feel. The paths are dirt, the parking lot is a grassy field, the log cabins are rustic, small and seasoned by over a 150 years of Illinois weather. Yet, the antique family homes are sound and cozy. I recommend visiting the place as a family outing. There is plenty of room to run and play.It was in a log cabin home, much like this, that Daniel Boone, Abraham Lincoln and other pioneers lived and raised their families.
