Lincoln City, Indiana - Lincoln Boyhood Home National Memorial We just spent the day walking the trails at the Lincoln boyhood national
memorial in Lincoln, In. They have a museum ($3.00 per person, $5.00 family) that you can tour but the real attraction is the Lincoln farm. Normally they have period workers farming and doing the daily chores one would do on a 1800s farm but since it was a weekday no one was on duty besides the chickens. They have a reproduction cabin, barns and smokehouse.
The highlight is the original Abe Lincoln boyhood cabin's foundation that has been bronzed and has a stone fence around it. Go 300 yards one way to see the gravesite of Nancy Hanks Lincoln (Abe's mom) or 300 the other way to see a well where the Lincoln family fetched its drinking water.
