Inside Lincoln’s Log Cabin at Knob Creek

We saw the outside of Abraham’s Lincoln’s Log Cabin at Knob Creek and now we have to peek inside the window at the National Historical Park in Kentucky. Thomas and Nancy Lincoln and his family left Sinking Spring Farm in nearby Hodgenville, Kentucky in 1811 after he lost the farm in a common land dispute over surveying and ownership. He arrived here at Knob Creek and leased the 30 acre farm to sustain his family. The National Historic Park here has recreated his log cabin from the remains of the Golliher cabin next door as these were Abraham Lincoln’s friends. We take a peek inside the window of the cabin and see the newly redone floors, masonry fireplace/ hearth and how it may have looked in the early 1800’s. They lived and worked this land until 1816 when Abraham Lincoln was 7 years old. Below is a photo of Thomas Lincoln also.
