There are several places that commemorate Abe Lincoln’s life and I was able to visit a couple -- Abe Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park (KY) and Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial (IN). Another one of those visits that reminds me how long ago I studied history in school – I was in lower grades. The park / memorial do a good job of bringing to life his parents and his family’s life in those times. Thomas Lincoln, Abe’s father, took his family onto the frontier to build a farm. Also I am amazed at the structures built as memorials – quite the architecture.
