This small museum is located in the small Boyle County community of Forkland, near Perryville Kentucky in the Forkland Community Center.

The article included this: "Several years ago, when a team of historians researched old cemeteries in the Forkland community, they located the graves of seven first cousins of Abraham Lincoln. As many as 17 first cousins of Lincoln are said to be buried in the New Liberty Cemetery in Anderson County."

How far is Perryville from Lexington? I might be going to Lexington in October and want to visit this museum.
