Meeting the Americans
Pambling Roads ~~ Kentucky
Pambling Roads continues as we travel up the
center of the U.S. along the Mississippi River and over aiming for the mid-west
states. From Florida we bee-lined it to Michigan and began our travels
for Meeting the Americansfrom there. We pit stopped in Locust
Grove, GA. at the La Quinta and the Best Western in Cave City, KY.
Lincoln’s birthplace in central Kentucky (near
Hodgenville) was a pleasant surprise and neither one of us wanted to pass up
the chance of being able to see it. We weren’t expecting to stop anywhere as we
expected to travel north without any stops except to sleep. Sinking Spring Farm
is a national historical site with a wonderful informative experience. A short
film gives a quick description of the trials and tribulations Abraham Lincoln’s
parents went through to become landowners and what their family experienced as
frontier settlers. There are cabins, an inn, the sinking spring cave, trails,
and the monument.
The monument has 56 steps, one for each year
of President Lincoln’s life, and holds a reconstructed simpler version of the
log cabin where he was born.
If you want to read more about our other
visits to Lincoln historical sites:
Lincoln’s earliest childhood memories are from
Knob Creek Farm, KY., and another home where we stopped to visit. Knob Creek
Farm is mentioned in President Lincoln’s memoirs where he talks about his life
on the farm.
There is no fee to go to the national historic
sites. There are ranger led programs and self-guided tours.
