LINCOLN MEMORIAL AT 100 — TEACHER WORKSHOP SERIES

Session 4: Lincoln's Birthplace and Boyhood Home

Join National Mall and Memorial Parks rangers and their friends for a teacher professional development series in honor of the completion of the Lincoln Memorial 100 years ago in 1922. February's session will be presented by Ranger Stacy Humphreys from the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park located in Hodgenville, Kentucky.

The Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park located in Hodgenville, Kentucky is home to the Sinking Spring Farm, also known as the birthplace of our 16th President Abraham Lincoln. The park is made up of 2 units: The Birthplace Unit and the Boyhood Home Unit at Knob Creek. It was here on these 2 farms, that Abraham Lincoln spent the first 7 years of his life. His Kentucky roots would have a lasting impact on the boy, who would later become President. In the early 20th Century, private citizens would band together to create the park, and the first national monument to Lincoln in the United States. Join us as we explore Lincoln's Kentucky roots and influences, share stories of the park's creation and detail the work that is still being done to tell the story of the early formative years of Lincoln's life.
