lincoln boyhood national memorial印象

I grew up in this area. Hadn't been back for over 20 years. Must say, glad I stopped by. As an adult, I found it informative and educational. Then again, I moved to Springfield IL which is saturated with Lincoln EVERYTHING. It was nice to revisit this quaint little area. Well kept.

Nestled in a remote place in Indiana, this is a great memorial; larger than life diorama on the face entrance, to the exhibits inside, and the short movie, all was well done and gives a warm and fuzzy feeling to one who appreciates the history of the USA, and has a strong connection with pioneers of the 1800's. The living history portion leaves much to be desired, but do not miss the memorial.

This was a little hard to find but worth the time. We visited the memorial which was beautifully done and I even learned some new information about Lincoln and his family. After the memorial, we opted to drive down to the farm (but there is a walkable trail from the museum). The farm was great. My kids enjoyed seeing the animals and touching many items. Be aware poison ivy is everywhere so make sure kids stay on the paths and to look before going close to the fences. They had a couple people that acted as though they were from that time period. They also had a carpentry shop with lots of fur pelts to touch and see. We walked down to the "spring", but unless you want to see a well with a plaque, I'd skip that. They did have some sheep in a pen on the way as you cross the road that sat near the fence and loved having the kids pet them.

Started by going to the replica cabin at the farm and walking down to the well used by the family. Enjoyed the film at visitors center and walking up to Nancy Hanks Lincoln's cemetery site. Best part of the trip was attending the outdoor drama about Lincoln's life located across the road at the Lincoln State Park. Our twelve year old granddaughter thought it was "awesome". We chose to have the catered meal (food was good) before the performance which is served under a tent. Other shows are scheduled at the amphitheatre so check out their website at www.LincolnAmphittheatre.org

We visited Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and enjoyed the brief history video on arrival.The walk to the set up on what things would have been like in those times was great for our 6 year old .The small fee of $5 was well worth it and the grounds were beautiful. Thank you

I'm sure that a prime season visit would be more rewarding. The off season hours are restricted with the museum closing at 3pm. Our arrival at 2:40 was too rushed. No film was available.The living history volunteer staff doesn't work off season so all the buildings were locked up. The trails are open until dusk. The walk in the woods is nice.

I visited June of last year. I didn't go in the visitors center but we did take a walk to the cabin. The ground is beautiful. There's a lot of history. The kids loved it.

There are not any actual sites where Lincoln live while in Indiana--they were all lost early. The video may be the best part of the memorial, telling how Lincoln developed from age 7 to 21. Still, even that seemed shallow. These were important times in Lincoln's life and I don't think they told the story well enough.

This is the place where Abraham Lincoln "grew up as a young boy, and left as a young man." Saw a nice little 15 minute video in the museum. Also some nice pictures and good information about Lincoln and his family living in Indiana. Learned a bunch of new things about Lincoln and his relatives during his 14 years' time in Indiana. $3 admission fee or $5 per family.

On our way from St. Louis to Charleston, WV we took a 10 minute detour off of I64 to visit this delightful spot. We ate lunch at a picnic area (no trash cans, though) and checked out the museum. Not a lot of hands-on stuff for young kids but nice exhibits for the older ones (9 and 11). We drove to the other parking lot to access the original cabin site and the replicated farm - these are a bit of a walk down a nice path. The farm is wonderful - we had a very friendly and patient docent who helped my boys learn about life in a cabin as well as working in a carpenter's shop. My sons loved it! We could've spent a lot more time than we did.Very engaging place, would totally come again!
