Lincoln Heritage Scenic Highway
Abraham Lincoln’s Boyhood Home at Knob Creek, KY

This site is Abraham Lincoln’s childhood Kentucky Home and is said to be his earliest recollection. The Lincoln family moved to Knob Creek from the Sinking Spring Farm in 1811. The existing log cabin on the site was reconstructed in 1931 and possibly includes logs from Austin Gollaher’s home (Lincoln’s schoolmate who rescued him from drowning in Knob Creek).
