A few quick facts: Originally established in 1916 and redesignated as a national historic site in 1959, the 345-acre site in Hodgenville, Kentucky, commemorates the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States. An early 19th century Kentucky cabin, symbolic of the one in which Lincoln was born, is preserved in a memorial building at the site of his birth. I hope you'll enjoy a visit to this historic site in the near future.
