Lincoln State Park

Young Abe Lincoln

Spencer County, Indiana is most definitely the Land of Lincoln - I'll even go out on a limb and venture to say that it hosts more Abraham Lincoln History & Memorabilia than just about anywhere else in the United States. It's a whole vacation's worth of Honest Abe- Honest! Find out everything you ever needed to know about Pioneer Living and The Lincoln Family's deep rooted ties to the area. This family friendly getaway is only a three hour drive from Nashville.

Lincoln State Park was established in 1932 as a memorial to Nancy Hanks. It's boundaries span 1,747 acres and the park offers camping and hiking along with many other outdoor activities. It is home to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial and Little Pigeon Cemetery as well as the stunning Lincoln Amphitheater.
