Lincoln Day

We dedicated a day of our KY trip to Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln Homestead was one of our stops. We enjoyed this stop and learning about the Lincoln family.

Lovely Historic Site

If you’re interested in the Lincoln history, then you should include a visit here. Or if you just want to spend a little time exploring a lovely state park, don’t miss this gem. Start in the visitors center. I spoke to a very knowledgeable man...More

Interesting.

Cabins all around to help you feel the history but then you find out that Lincoln was not born there but his parents were married in Springfield and lived near there. Golf course very close by.

18 hole golf course

Golf course is beautiful; however, the sand pits are hard as rocks with hardly any sand in them. The fairways don't have a good stand of grass.

Stopped just for a time filler as we were driving through town. It was closed from September to May, so definitely wait till later to go. Walked around a bit and peeked in windows. It looked really neat. For 2.50 a person, you can tour...More

So much better than we expected!

We had a little extra time on our way to Maker's Mark distillery, so decided to stop at the Lincoln Homestead state park. You can take a guided tour - or just wander through the buildings yourself. Only $3/ person either way. Cabins are well...More

Small but historic.

There is a replica of Thomas Lincoln's boyhood cabin built on the original site with some furniture he actually made. Also the original cabin Nancy Hanks lived in is there also although it has been moved a mile from its actual site. Add a memorial...More
