Lincoln City - Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial Attractions
Abraham Lincoln lived on this farm from 1816 to 1830. The memorial park features the reconstructed farm site, the burial site of Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and a visitor center.
The original Thomas Lincoln Farm recreates the daily chores and frontier farming methods that were part of the farm's history. Cooking, splitting rails, riving shingles, breaking flax, and spinning wool are just some of the day to day chores presented.
The center was constructed of native stone and wood. Exhibits honor Abraham and Nancy Hanks Lincoln and highlight the 14 years Abraham Lincoln and his family lived in southern Indiana.
