Description

Explore Kentucky's Lincoln sites!


 


Package includes:


 


Guided Tour of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace - The early 19th-century cabin, symbolic of the one in which Lincoln was born, is preserved in a memorial building at the site of his birth. Thomas and Nancy Lincoln settled on the 348-acre Sinking Spring Farm near Hodgenville in Fall, 1808. Two months later, on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born. Here the Lincolns lived and farmed before moving to Knob Creek, a few miles away. On July 17, 1916, Congress established this memorial as a national park site.


 


Guided Tour of the Abraham Lincoln Boyhood Home - In an 1860 letter Lincoln said, "The place on Knob Creek ... I remember very well; but I was not born there ... My earliest recollection, however, is of the Knob Creek place." Lincoln was two years old when his family arrived at Knob Creek, several miles from his birthplace and then on the main route from Louisville to Nashville. His sister, Sarah, was four, and his brother, Thomas, was born the following year. He died a few days later and was buried on the property.


 


Two tickets to The Lincoln Museum - The museum's main exhibit includes twelve dioramas showing pivotal times in Abraham Lincoln's life - from his boyhood in Kentucky to his assassination. Other exhibits include rare newspaper clippings, campaign posters, and Lincoln memorabilia. An art gallery on the second floor features paintings, drawings, and other artworks portraying Lincoln.
