The Grecian inspired edifice was built between 19, atop the knoll where legend (and some deeds with Thomas Lincoln’s name) lead us to believe Abraham Lincoln was born. The entire log cabin fits inside, reinforcing the difference between the monument built in Lincoln’s honor and his humble origins. Designed by John Russel Pope, the early twentieth-century’s titan of neo-classical monuments and government buildings, the monument only has one room, about the size of a large living-room. Imposingly large when viewed from the bottom of its 56 steps, the monument is almost claustrophobic inside. For seven weeks this past summer I worked at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park in Hodgenville, Kentucky, where that cabin (as legend has it) is encased in a stone monument. School children across the United States learn that Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin. Editing in for Thankful Thursday because after all of this waiting for snow!
