Original Lincoln Home Cottage to be Reconstructed

[Gene C]

While not as an attractive project, but perhaps a more educational one, would be to reconstruct the "half face camp" structure that the Lincoln's lived in when they first moved to Indiana. Less expensive to build, it would show the visitors to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial how primitive the conditions that not only the Lincoln family lived in, but many of the new arrivals to the area, and have a greater appreciation of the challenges they faced.
