Lincoln Birthplace Farm Opens as National Shrine
The 110 acre Hodgenville Kentucky site once failing to pay taxes is now a Lincoln shrine with a memorial building and a statue to be unveiled in Hodgenville. The Lincoln birthplace farm has been acquired by Richard Lloyd Jones for the Collier company and turned into a memorial and park with a planned tribute in Washington. The article celebrates Abraham Lincoln’s life from humble origins to the nation’s leader and notes key milestones in his career and presidency.
