Review:
While Abraham Lincoln spent most of his years in Illinois before his presidency, he was actually born in Kentucky and spent some time growing up there. The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace Historical Park is a place that has gathered all the history of Abraham Lincoln’s early years to preserve and to educate anyone who wishes to learn more about his amazing life.
Tours are provided by historians and begin with a short movie about Mr. Lincoln’s life in Kentucky and beyond. People discover little known facts during the tour around about cabin living in the 1800s before, during, and after the American Civil War.
Visitors will see the Sinking Springs, which gives the property its water, the Exhibit Hall featuring artifacts, and a trail with 56 granite steps that represent every year of Mr. Lincoln’s life before it tragically ended within his presidency. Gift shops and self-guided tours are available.
