Onstot's Cooper Shop - Text on back: Interior of Onstot's Cooper Shop, Lincoln's New Salem, Illinois. Henry Otstot, cooper, erected this shop while operating the Rutledge Tavern in 1834. A year later he built his residence to the west and lived there until 1840. Abraham Lincoln and Isaac Onstot, the eldest son, were friends and studied together here by the light of the fire kindled by the cooper's shavings. In 1840 this shop was moved to Petersburg, where Onstot carried on his business for many years. Latter weather-boarding was added on the exterior, larger windows were installed, and it was used as a residence until 1922, when it was purchased by the Old Salem Lincoln League, stripped of its weather-boarding and re-erected on its original site. It is now restored to its former exterior appearance. Lincoln's New Salem Enterprises, Inc. Petersburg, Illinois.
