New Staff at Living Historical Farm

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial's Living Historical Farm staff welcomed 4 new additions this week! Four little lambs join a group of just hatched baby chicks who will all be making their public debut when the Living Historical Farm opens for the season, April 13.

Two of the lambs, one black and one white, are twins! They were born Wednesday morning in a torrential downpour causing one of the worst floods in Spencer County in many years. Lead Park Ranger at the Living Historical Farm Bob Zimmerman trudged out to the pasture through the storm to carry the newborn lambs safely into the barn. The threesome are now doing terrific!

This baby lamb is sure to be popular with all the school groups who will tour Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial this spring.

This mother lamb looks after her little bundle of Spring-time Joy! With all these babies, this barn is looking more like a nursery.

Making space for Lincoln on MySpace

Abraham Lincoln may be getting ready to celebrate his 200th birthday, but don't think he isn't keeping up with the latest technology and social media trends!

Abraham Lincoln has his own Bicentennial MySpace page to help spread the word about upcoming special events and his boyhood home, Spencer County, Ind. Click here to view it.

If you have a MySpace page, please invite us to be your friend! Lincoln had strong opinions about the importance of friends. He once said, "I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down..."
