De Saible Cabin was a replica of the trading post established by Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, the first non-Native permanent settler and founder of Chicago, of Black and Haitian descent who arrived in the Chicago area around 1780.
Edwards’ Rancho was a restaurant specializing in Mexican and Southwestern food. The building was be adobe style, with a genuine hickory-fired roasting pit.
The Lincoln Group was a series of replica structures, including the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, near Hodgenville, Kentucky. The cabin was constructed of logs taken from a house found standing in Jersey County, Illinois, which dated back over 100 years to the time of Lincoln. The clay used for chinking between the logs, for plastering up the fireplace chimney, and even for the floor itself was brought from Kentucky.
The second structure in the group was a substantially accurate reproduction of the Lincoln Home near Gentryville, Indiana, to which the family moved when Lincoln was about eight years old. Two additional historical structures were included– a replica of the general store of Berry and Lincoln, at New Salem, Illinois, and a reproduction on two-fifths scale of The Wigwam, in Chicago, where Lincoln was nominated for the presidency in 1860.
