| What better way to celebrate Independence Day than to visit Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home? Earlier this week, in Kentucky, we visited his birth home where he lived until the age of 2. Five miles down the road was his other boyhood home where he lived until the age of 7. Today, in Indiana, we visited the farm where he lived from age 7 until age 21. The farm has the footprint of their original cabin and some barns and sheds. There were sheep and chickens. Sometimes they have people in costumes reenacting the farm practices of the era. We didn't get that today though. Here is the grave of Abraham's mother who died at the age of 35 from milk sickness. The cows must have eaten white snake root plants. |
