You can make this Mother's Day a learning opportunity!
Sunday, May 11, bring your children to Abraham Lincoln's Boyhood Home in Spencer County and share with them the story of how a pioneer boy named Abraham Lincoln grew into America's Greatest President.
Lincoln often credited his mother, Nancy Hanks, and stepmother, Sarah Bush Johnston, for helping shape his character and foster his love of learning. He once said, "All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother."
This special Mother's Day ceremony will honor the women who had an impact on Lincoln's life and today's mothers as well. It will include musical performances, a drama using Lincoln's own words about life on the Indiana frontier, and a wreath laying ceremony by area children. Gov. Mitch Daniels and Congressman Baron Hill also will speak.
After the ceremony, families can tour the Living Historical Farm at the site where Lincoln lived from age 7 to 21. With the help of the farm's interpreters, you can milk a cow, feed the sheep, or help with the garden.
