EXPLORE THE LINCOLN MUSEUM
Our first stop will be the Lincoln Museum, located in downtown Hodgenville in the National Historic District. The museum will follow the most pivotal points in the life of the sixteenth US president, from exhibits depicting the “Cabin Years” to the devastating assassination in “Ford’s Theatre.” Through a series of dioramas, exhibits, campaign posters, memorabilia, and life-size wax figures, we begin to piece together the importance that President Lincoln holds for the United States.
STEP INTO LINCOLN SQUARE
We will depart the museum and make our way to Lincoln Square to view the six-foot-tall bronze statue of President Lincoln sitting in an Empirestyle chair. A tall, bearded man will step out from behind the monument and introduce himself as “Abraham Lincoln,” the sixteenth president. The impersonator will begin to share stories of his past, highlighting key events during his presidency.
We continue our journey and after a short drive, our motorcoach will arrive at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, where we will learn about Lincoln’s humble beginnings. Discover how Abe's childhood shaped him with the character and leadership skills it would take to later make the decision to keep from dividing a nation; to fight for quality.
WATCH A SHORT FILM AND VISIT SINKING SPRING
After a visit to the Visitor Center, where a short film will be played, we finish our day at Sinking Spring – a freshwater spring where Lincoln and his family got their daily water supply. As the water trickles down into the spring, reflect on the remarkable impact that one man had on the people of the United States.
