Today's Small Business Spotlight is all about 🍔🍟🌭...though it's a giftshop as well!!
✨
We are SO thankful for the Railsplitter Gifts and Eatery out at Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site!! This local gem is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9-5 and their burger is truly hard to beat! Yummy crinkle fries, some healthier options in the fridge, and delicious homemade ice-cream are just some of what make up their great menu!
🎉
You can also visit the giftshop for unique gifts and fun finds during the same hours!
🫶🏻
Grab a burger, eat outside in the shade, take a stroll through the village, and experience history revived all in one spot on your lunch break!
