As the nation celebrates Abraham Lincoln's Birthday this month, his boyhood home Spencer County, Indiana, is highlighting its Lincoln-themed attractions in a new visitors guide.Titled "Visit Lincoln's Indiana Boyhood Home," the brochure invites guests to trace Lincoln’s past in Spencer County, where he spent 14 formative years that transformed a frontier boy into a great man.
In Spencer County visitors can see a working farm and cabins typical of the structures where Lincoln lived, worked and learned. The mighty Ohio River still rolls along our scenic banks where Lincoln ferried passengers out to passing steamboats.
Sites highlighted in the brochure include:
Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial
Lincoln Pioneer Village & Museum
Lincoln State Park
Colonel Jones Home
Lincoln Landing
Buffalo Run Farm
Lincoln Ferry Park
Ohio River Scenic Route
Lincoln's boyhood lessons and values are as relevant today as they were nearly 200 years ago. We invite visitors to come here to trace the past of a man whose legacy is still forging the future.
Planning is underway in Spencer county to commemorate the Bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth in February of 2009. A complete listing of special events in available at www.ThinkLincoln.org.
