It really isn't a square anymore. It's now a traffic circle, commonly called locally the squarcle…read more Hodgenville is an old town and this use to be a traditional Kentucky county seat square with a courthouse in the middle of the square, but much to my great dismay even as a small child, the town's political leaders decided to tear down the old beautiful historic courthouse, and build a new modern courthouse a few streets over. The square used to be the center of life in the town, with the park benches in front and around the courthouse where folks use to sit and pass along the news of the town. Over the years the square has undergone many changes and refurbishments. There is a beautiful old statue of Abraham Lincoln that I believe is a copy of the one from his memorial in Washington DC. In more modern times they have placed a newer statue of a young Lincoln, this statue however has has not had good luck, it has been taken out twice by reckless drivers. Currently it is awaiting repairs from its most recent mishap with another bad driver. The old local library now serving as the women's club anchors one corner of the area and Laha's Red Castle is right beside it. And if you haven't eaten there you must do it at least once in your life. Although currently they are only serving takeaway and just another storefront down is a barbershop that has been there as long as I can remember and as long as my father could remember. Opposite is the sweet shoppe where you can get some great fudge or ice cream. Lots to do on the old square be sure and stop and give it a visit when you pass through Hodgenville.

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

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!

It seems that this location is not open as consistently as the Birthplace Historical Site nearby. It was closed on the day that we happened to be around, but we were still able to park and walk around. There's a visitor center / gift shop and a replica cabin representing Lincoln's boyhood home. Beyond that, there are some trails and an overlook onto a prairie, but overall the park is small. It's worth a stop if you are in the area visiting other Lincoln sites, but it's less impressive than the Birthplace Historical Site nearby.

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