We're all familiar with the Abraham Lincoln story–he served as the sixteenth President of the United States, and is one of the most iconic figures in the history of our nation. Kentucky is the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, a man whose legacy is still vigorously discussed and debated even today.

Although Lincoln lived in Kentucky but a short period of time, much of his life was predicated on his relationships to Kentucky and its people. And the circumstances and issues that surrounded him, divided this country into a bloody Civil War, and shaped our country after that war are very much a part of the Kentucky story.

We invite you to rediscover the Abraham Lincoln story here in Kentucky. Visit the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln at at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park, and the Abraham Lincoln Boyhood Home, as well as other sites on the Lincoln Heritage Trail.
