It seems that this location is not open as consistently as the Birthplace Historical Site nearby. It was closed on the day that we happened to be around, but we were still able to park and walk around. There's a visitor center / gift shop and a replica cabin representing Lincoln's boyhood home. Beyond that, there are some trails and an overlook onto a prairie, but overall the park is small. It's worth a stop if you are in the area visiting other Lincoln sites, but it's less impressive than the Birthplace Historical Site nearby.

Here in rural Kentucky, about halfway between Louisville and Nashville and only a mile or two off the Interstate, is the creation of Munford native Chester Fryer. He is a stonemason and the stones are set up along compass lines. This is a quiet, residential street and the rock formations are in his front yard. So please keep that in mind - there is a sign indicating that it is closed at 5pm and another sign indicating that donations are accepted. [Review 20206 overall - 239 in Kentucky - 1183 of 2023.]

I had seen this attraction on a roadside America site and decided to stop in real quick since it was only 5 minutes off my route. It's a bit over an hour drive from my home city of Lousiville so not too bad. Located a mile or so off the 65 expressway. When you pull in it is like your pulling into a neighborhood and this gem is just Sitting right there. Really cool place and the work they did is great. They did a good job of making this replica of the world famous one in England. I have no idea the motivation or reasoning behind this project. But it makes for a fun quick visit and photo ops. I had two of my 4 girls with me and they had fun running around and checking out the cool rock formations. So it was a really successful and fun trip. If your ever headed from Louisville towards Nashville keep this place in mind. It is before the cave city and bowling Green exits so makes for a fun stop if visiting one of those areas.

It was thunder storming and lightning abound when we arrived but cleared up during our stroll through the memorial and the visitor center. There is a longer path to the side of the visitor center where it's all covered by trees so we didn't get rained on. Inside the memorial is the replica of the log cabin where he was born. That closes at 4:30pm, whereas the visitor center closes at 5:00pm. I made sure to stop at the sinking springs next to the memorial for the watering hole where Abe took his first drink of water. It felt very cold in that area compared to the humid weather surrounding it. Very cool. So glad we made a stop here on our roadtrip!

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came by here last Thursday in the late morning at my request. I love presidential shizzle - one of my earliest memories is getting a book of the presidents and learning all of them in order, and instead of going to Disney World (don't get me started), my parents took me to a number of presidential homesteads and birthplaces when I was in elementary school, mostly the heavy hitters in VA and the Adams one in Braintree, MA. And I've legitimately celebrated President's Day by dragging some of my chums to Grant's Tomb at 9AM to listen to a reenactment of the 1873 State of the Union. So I came into this with some nerdy, executive branch street cred. Part of it was definitely the mediocre rainy weather, but I just wasn't that impressed. I want to emphasize that there might not have been anything the National Park Service could have done once they got involved, because the biggest issue here is that the actual birthplace doesn't really exist anymore. I'm sure they got the land/property lines correct, but the log cabin that we all naturally associate with Abe? Gone, so you have to settle for a recreation, and that recreated cabin isn't given its own space outside - it's housed in the Memorial Building, which makes that experience more claustrophobic than it should be, since the cabin takes up about 70% of the room. There may be excellent reasons why it had to remain indoors, but I found that decision pretty curious. And bottom line - it's hard to have a national park based on a birthplace that's largely abstract and not something you can see with your own eyes. The Visitors Center was relatively small but pleasant. I haven't stopped to think about it until now, but I'm guessing that the vast majority of Lincoln exhibits are at his home in Springfield, IL, which I know DOES physically exist. Again, they just didn't have as much to play around with here so they're relying more on fancy/tasteful Lincoln quotes on their walls versus, say, a glass case featuring his top hat. When a sizeable chunk of your Visitors Center is taken up by a gift shop and little movie theater showing a 15-minute video about Lincoln, you're pretty much broadcasting the fact that you don't have a lot of standalone items to display, which is a shame. The biggest selling point is the Memorial Building, notwithstanding the replica cabin situation inside. It's built up on a hill with 56 steps for each year of Abe's life, and bares a pretty strong resemblance to the more notable Presidential memorials in DC. I thought it was cool that several Presidents have stopped by, now knowing that this is a bit in the middle of nowhere, but it's also just an hour outside Lexington so it was also disappointing to learn that no Presidents have visited since Eisenhower. They can't fit in a 15-minute photo op over the course of four to eight years? Come on. It's Abe. The NPS rangers (right word?) were very nice. I'd be curious what the pecking order of historic sites is for the NPS but I have to think this isn't at the very tippy top. Regardless, lots of smiles and at least one of them went out of their way to ask us if we had any questions and to (unprompted) pull out a map to orient us before we left the Visitors Center to explore the grounds a bit. If you're in the area, sure, pay your respects to the beginning of Honest Abe's story. But if you have more time/bandwidth, I think the play is to jump ahead in the timeline and get yourself up to Illinois.
