Lincoln Birthplace Farm to Be Nation’s Shrine in Park Plan
The Lincoln Birthplace Farm near Elizabethtown, Kentucky, is slated to become a national shrine or temple of patriotic righteousness, funded by a Col lier’s Weekly backed Lincoln Farm association. Led by Robert J. Collier and Governor Folk, the board includes Mark Twain, Taft, Gibbons, Tarbell, and Mackay, with annual small gifts from citizens to endow the park. Abraham Lincoln’s Kentucky birthplace, its early history, and the farm’s journey from tax sale to potential national landmark are detailed, including prior owners and a near bid by a distillery firm attempting marketing through a Lincoln Birthplace Whisky. The piece notes Lincoln’s youth, his father Thomas Lincoln’s life, and the broader public interest in preserving the site as a monument to democracy.
