LINCOLN BOYHOOD NATIONAL MEMORIAL

(Redirected from Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial)


'Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial' is a United States Presidential Memorial that preserves the Lincoln City, Indiana, farm site where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1816 to 1830. During that time, he grew from a 7-year-old boy to a 21-year-old man. His mother is buried here in the 'Nancy Hanks Lincoln Cemetery'.

Nearby is Lincoln State Park. Some of the state park land, including the gravesite, was transferred to the National Memorial. The memorial includes the site of the family cabin, a replica farm featuring period-style buildings, and the Memorial Building, completed in 1943.
The U.S. Congress authorized the national memorial on February 19, 1962. As with all historic sites administered by the National Park Service, the memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, on October 15, 1966.
