Why you should go…

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial preserves the southern Indiana farm where Abraham Lincoln lived from age 7 to 21, between 1816 and 1830. The limestone Memorial Building holds five sculpted panels tracing his life, plus a film and museum exhibits. A trail leads past the grave of his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, to the Living Historical Farm, where staff in period clothing work an 1820s-style homestead near the Cabin Site Memorial, a bronze casting of sill logs and hearthstones.
