Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park
Here are a few photo's of my trip to Hodgenville, KY the birth place of Abraham Lincoln. This was the first time I have been to a National Historic Park, where I felt I knew more than the park rangers. Our first tour guide was on her first day of giving tours. She did a good job considering. The second ranger inside the monument had been on the job about one month. He had been an army recruiter, active in Civil War reenactments, a very nice and interesting person . I wrote down Rogers web site and discussion web site address for him, so who knows. It wasn't busy for a Saturday, so we had a nice conversation.
I couldn't get a good picture I liked of the cabin, so I'll save that for another time. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. And as I learned from my trip to Springfield, a trip is not complete until you visit the cemetery to pay respects to those who played a part in history. https://www.flickr.com/photos/105898294@...237426079/ The Lincoln Boyhood Home National Park was a big disappointment. A pleasant surprise of the trip was the Lincoln Museum. I asked permission before I took a few pictures of the dioramas. This was well worth the visit. https://www.flickr.com/photos/105898294@...641469472/ I was very restrained at the Nancy Lincoln gift shop. I purchased just one book. Abraham Lincoln: A Living Legacy http://www.amazon.com/Abraham-Lincoln-Li...ing+legacy Great photos and interesting info about the homes where Lincoln lived that are now National Parks. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

Great photos, Gene!
Long ago we had an employee at the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial join, but he never posted. |
