Lincoln Heritage Trail View-Master

[Dave Taylor]

I found three View-Master reels at my parents house called the, "Lincoln Heritage Trail". I posted the Ford's Theatre and Petersen House images on my site, but I thought it would be fun to share the other images from the reels here. First, you can read the booklet that came with the reels here:

Here are my attempts at photographing the images from inside the View-Master along with the caption provided for each image.

"1. Girlhood home of Nancy Hanks, Mother of Lincoln"


"2. Lincoln's birthplace, near Hodgenville, Kentucky"


"3. Replica of his early childhood home, Knob Creek"


"4. Monument marks his boyhood home in Indiana"


"5. Grave of Lincoln's mother"


"6. Indiana cabin replica show Abe studying by fireplace"


"7. Lincoln trail monument marks entry into Illinois"


"8. Lincoln-Berry store interior, New Salem, Illinois"


"9. Statue of young Lincoln at restored New Salem"


"10. Ann Rutledge grave, Petersburg, Ill."
