Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site
In
the fall of 1808, Thomas and Nancy Lincoln settled on the 348 acre Sinking
Spring Farm. Two months later on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born
in a one-room log cabin near the Sinking Spring. Here the Lincolns lived and
farmed before moving to land a few miles away at Knob Creek. The area was
established by Congress on July 17, 1916. 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. —NPS
