Ten thousand people gathered in Lincoln City Indiana for the dedication of the Nancy Hanks Lincoln monument. Governor Durbin and staff arrived by special train as school children brought flags, and Old Settlers hosted a grounds dinner. The Nancy Hanks Memorial Association funded the monument on a seventeen acre tract near the Lincoln home, with prior neglect of the grave and a 1880 plain marble marker later improved by gifts from anonymous donors. The state may lose the land if lawmakers do not legalize it as a permanent park, risking transfer to Spencer County to complete restoration.
