Lincoln birthplace site a national park tale unfolds
A long historical account traces the Lincoln birthplace from the cabin on the LaRue County farm to its sale in 1805, its passage through heirs, a series of owners, and a 20th century push to turn the site into a national park. Alfred Denett once bought the property, shipped the cabin to expositions, and later conveyed the farm in a legal dispute before the Lincoln Farm Association raised funds and earned government protection after President Wilson’s praise.
