Over 200,000 people a year come to walk up the steps of the Memorial Building to visit the site where Abraham Lincoln was born
For over a century people from around the world have come to rural Central Kentucky to honor the humble beginnings of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. His early life on Kentucky's frontier shaped his character and prepared him to lead the nation through Civil War.
