Lincoln Boyhood Home in Indiana

Made a recent trip to Southern Indiana and visited the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. Neat place for a history buff like me to visit. Abe moved to Indiana when he was eight years old, in the same year Indiana became a state, 1816. I am posting a total of 11 photos. Enjoy (I hope ;))
Took all of them with my Nikon Coolpix P7700. Reduced resolution to 100 dpi.
Questions welcome.

Great captures...I grew up in Indianapolis, my dad was from Vincennes. I spent many summers there visiting with my cousins travelling from town to town playing baseball in the surrounding counties. My cousin Jim has a law office in Bicknell just up the street from Vincennes

Back in the late 70' early 80's I worked for a company that supplied chemical admixtures used to treat concrete. VerPlank concrete was a huge customer of mine...my son is a '98 grad engineer from Purdue

Cool, small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it. :)
