The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Site is a collection of sites that honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Visitors can explore the First Lincoln Memorial, which was designed by John Russell Pope. It holds the symbolic birth cabin of Abraham Lincoln.
The single room log cabin is where the future president was shaped to have the strong character he needed to lead the nation during the Civil War. One of the other sites is Sinking Spring, located on the land where Abraham Lincoln was born. It was also most likely the first source of water for the future president. The Lincoln family later moved to Knob Creek, another part of the historical sites, which is where the log cabin was supposedly originally located.
