The Sarah Bush Johnson Lincoln Memorial Cabin was built in 1992, in an effort to preserve the history and memories of the early days of the Lincoln family. The memorial cabin is constructed using hand-hewn timber logs which were 122 year old. The dimensions and style of this simple log cabin are very similar to the actual cabin in which the widow Sarah Bush Johnson was living with her 3 children before she married Thomas Lincoln in 1819, becoming stepmother to Abe Lincoln and his sister Sarah. The cabin is very authentic, offering visitors a glimpse into the past – furnishings, house wares and décor has been carefully chosen to reflect life during the Johnson-Lincoln era.
