Had a weekend getaway with my love and kind of stumbled across your village. It was such a fantastic private tour with Mr. Lee. Had an amazing time listening to the History of each cabin. May God Bless your great efforts to preserve such precious times!

Wow! What a busy fall in the village. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped us celebrate these events. We look forward to working with you again next season!

by the way, would you be able to email me the plot of land location where the cabin was removed from? I understand what's written on your website about it, it'd would just be cool to go to it's location in Tennessee. I'll have to stop by your place next time I'm in Illinois.

John Bartholomew from North Carolina, the Revolutionary War Private, was my 5th Great Grandpa. I found that you have the Bartholomew Homestead cabin. Sad it's still not in its original spot but glad you were able to preserve the actual building. i even went to UofI from 96-2000, wish I'd known you were where you are. Thank you for preserving a piece of my unbeknownst until now family history. I am forever grateful.

My 3 kids and I had the pleasure of attending the Presidents' Day activities at the Village. We had fun listening to "Abraham Lincoln" ( who we learned does not have a middle name!), having a lesson in the school house using slate boards, singing a few patriotic songs, a neat craft with an American flag made out of wood, and topped it off with festive cookies! We had a very nice, family time out there! Thanks!!

Thanks for sending me the website address, Traci. It looks great and your photos are excellent. I had no idea the Pioneer Village had developed into such a beautiful place. The next time we get to Oakland, Allan and I will drive out to see it.
