The four adjacent one room cabins mimicked the log cabin that the Lincoln family might have owned. The inn and cabins were built to serve the many visitors who drove to the Lincoln Birthplace Memorial. Although it was privately owned and operated by Jim Howell and his descendants, the inn is located on National Park property. In the 1930s, the park service planted red cedar trees to block the view as it deemed the inn an "unacceptable adjacent commercialization." Today, it is recognized as a historic property.

On that note getting there at night in the dark is extremely creepy because the roads are so dark and windy. We're coming from Miami and we're definitely not used to that backwoods driving. When we got to the tree it was a little anti-climatic. There are no signs or anything so you're really gonna have to rely on your GPS to get you there. That said I did feel super creepy vibes once we got there. I took one quick picture from inside the car and we bolted the hell out of there.

He sang and shared anecdotal stories sprinkled with humor, as well as playing banjo, guitar, flute, harp, and violin/fiddle. The setting in front of the memorial was beautiful and we were fortunate to have perfect weather. Plenty of parking. Park facilities and grounds are very well maintained. Park rangers and volunteers were all welcoming and helpful with directing visitors. Park ranger cadets were helpful with assisting attendees who needed help with toting coolers or camp chairs. Highly recommend visiting.

It was thunder storming and lightning abound when we arrived but cleared up during our stroll through the memorial and the visitor center. There is a longer path to the side of the visitor center where it's all covered by trees so we didn't get rained on. Inside the memorial is the replica of the log cabin where he was born. That closes at 4:30pm, whereas the visitor center closes at 5:00pm. I made sure to stop at the sinking springs next to the memorial for the watering hole where Abe took his first drink of water. It felt very cold in that area compared to the humid weather surrounding it. Very cool. So glad we made a stop here on our roadtrip!

We will definitely be back on a day where it's not raining to enjoy the park better.

Historic statue [Hodgenville KY]…read more After a quick visit to see the preserved log cabin where Lincoln was born at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park we went to Lincoln Square. This public square is located in the center point of a roundabout in downtown at the Hodgenville's Commercial Historic District. While here you could also visit the Lincoln Museum which is also in this area, unfortunately, we didn't make it and they were already closed by the time we arrived. At the Lincoln Square there is a bronze presidential statue of Abraham Lincoln that has been welcoming folks since 1909. A statue on the opposite end stood of him as a boy reading from Webster's Elementary Spelling-Book with his dog, Honey. This is a nice tribute to the 16th President of the United States. Just be careful crossing to get to that middle because cars just zoom like crazy in that roundabout. Lincoln Square is a National Register of Historic Places destination. Review #3923

There's a great mix of local shops, restaurants, and cozy corners to explore or just sit and relax. The highlight of our visit was simply walking around and taking in the atmosphere. The landscaping and layout are thoughtfully designed, and everything feels clean and inviting. However, be prepared to wait if you're trying to dine or visit during peak times--this place draws a crowd. Good place go check it out

Beautiful landscape, no urban sprawl. What you see is 1862.. trees are where trees were and open fields are where they were. I've been to many battlefields and I think this one is where the books don't do the terrain justice.. you really have to see it firsthand. The State and Trust have done a good job preserving the battlefield. If you look, you can see new land that was bought and about to be handed over. Recommend

Some of the markers were a bit beat down, but other than that, it's an interesting and beautiful area.
