The Friends of the Log Cabins Association sponsors Open Houses, Tours and Events to encourage people to visit the Lincoln era Log Cabin Village and to utilize this great resource. School Groups and Senior Citizens have visited the site with members of the Friends Group providing personal tours of the structures along with some of the history behind each structure. Every structure dates to the 1800's when Abe Lincoln was in the area. Structures were moved to this site from various locations in Adams and Pike County.

    To schedule a tour contact the Friends of the Log Cabins by emailing: logcabinvillagequincyil@gmail.com or message them on their Facebook Page or write them at: Friends of the Log Cabins, P.O. Box 3122, Quincy, IL 62305.
