Abraham Lincoln Boyhood Home National Memorial: Hodgenville, Kentucky

Abe's Boyhood Home, a log cabin at Knob Creek, was his earliest recollection.The Lincoln family lived on 30 acres of the 228-acre Knob Creek Farm from the time Abe was 2 until he was almost 8 years old. Abraham recalled in later years many memories of his childhood here.
He never forgot the time he fell in to a swollen Knob Creek while playing on a log near his home.
Had it not been for a friend, Abraham would probably have drowned. His pal grabbed a long tree limb
from the bank and held it out to the struggling Lincoln. Abraham spoke of the incident after he became President. Lincoln could also remember the baby brother who was born and died on the Knob Creek Farm. It was also at Knob Creek that Honest Abe first saw African/Americans being taken south along the Bardstown/Green River Turnpike, part of the old Cumberland Road, to be sold as slaves.
