Efforts Underway to Restore New Salem Historic Site

[Gene C]

Sad commentary on the State of Illinois and their lack of proper management.
It's not an issue unique to Illinois.

If you learn about how New Salem was built, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), this could be the answer to repairing many of our parks that have fallen into disrepair, building small affordable public housing, at the same time teaching young men a trade and improving their education.

A good book on this is Big Shoulders by William Jamerson.
