When entering Charleston from the west the first thing you will see is the brand new, brick, two storied welcome center. There you will find all of the attraction, such as Lincoln Log Cabin where Abe Lincoln lived. Lincoln Log cabin is a pretty neat place to visit. There you can dress up in old fashion clothing and take part in a regular day when Abe Lincoln was around. The men get to shovel manure and feed the animals while the women get to make the meals only using what the men harvest. Or if you don’t like the outside you can go to one of the oldest building in Charleston, Will Rogers, which is a movie theatre. It is an old building right off the square. The brick is old and cracked and it has a window in front of the building where you buy you tickets at. There is something for everyone to do for

In the very center of the town is the beautiful campus of Eastern Illinois University. The campus is about half the size of Southern’s but it still has everything that Southern has. Eastern’s has a little but comforting pond that you can either swim or fish. It is just as clean and clear as a pool. Half of the lake is surrounded by trees while the other half is surrounded by open land where you can lay out or study. Another soothing place is the quad. With the four big trees in each corner that provides a ton of shade in the summer and the open area is a great place to go to study or layout. The recreational center is very clean and is up to date with equipment. There are two weight rooms one with free weights and one with machines. They are located right when you walk in. as you walk past the weight rooms you will see many basketball courts and an aerobics center to the right of the courts. Also in the rec. is a track. To get to the track you have to walk up the stairs that are right before the weight rooms. The track is surrounded by stationary bikes, tread mills, and also has a rock climbing wall. When you see the baseball field you will think it is a minor league teams stadium. The stadium is brand new. It seats 5,000 people and that’s just the half of the stadium that has seats. The seats go from first base around home plate then to third base and its fifty rows high. The other half you can stand and watch the game. As well as being free the team is usually pretty competitive so you will always see a good game.

The Charleston community is very nice and caring. Everybody knows everybody. If yo
