We recently moved to Terre Haute, IN from central Illinois. I love the nastalgic step back in time to see reconstructed log cabins and a reconstructed town with a school, church, blacksmith shop, fur trading shop and a 1 unit get away cottage. All of this on a beautiful lake with a water fed mill attached. I love photography and this was a fun place to go with my camera.
