Howdy!
On Tuesday June 19th I was up early and back on the road. I was traveling south west to the Lower part of Kentucky. This area is rich with history, as this is the area Abraham Lincoln was born in.
My first stop was in Hodgenville. This is where Lincoln was born. They have a State Park now where the original homestead was. This Park’s Information Center has many memorabilia and a film on Lincoln’s early years. The property also has a monument on it (which the one in DC was modeled after) which houses the Lincoln’s Cabin.
I then head to Lincoln’s 2nd childhood home in Knob Creek. This 228 acre farm is also now a State Park. They have a period cabin on the property (which belonged to former neighbors of the Lincoln’s- The Gallaghers). There were a few other places with more information about Lincoln, such as the Lincoln Museum….. but it was getting late and I needed to find a place to camp.
I finally ended up in Lucas, KY. Here is where the Barren River Lake State Park is located. I have a great spot here, and like all Kentucky state parks there is a lot offered to guest. Here there is swimming (lake & pool), golf, horseback riding, and boating. I’ll be here until Sunday morning……
Well that is it for now. Enjoy the pictures. Until next time please-take care, and I’ll be back soon- Love Donna
