Forming part of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park, the Abraham Lincoln Boyhood Home at Knob Creek is where President Abraham Lincoln spent several happy boyhood years. Lincoln and his family lived in this simple, single storey home from 1811 to 1816, and the President held fond memories of his boyhood on the family farm. When you visit the park today you can see the simple, one-room log cabin where the president was born – it is located just 10 miles from his boyhood home at Knob Creek. The Historical Park has a Visitor’s Center and a small theatre where you can watch a short orientation video about Lincoln’s life and times.
