Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park - Kentucky Boyhood Home Unit — Attraction in Elizabethtown

20231011 Albe is now Mary Todd and she is doing great in her new home. She gained some weight, is very talkative, and hasn't given birth yet. 20230911 I pulled into a parking lot and a sweet tuxedo kitten walked up to my car. This is very unusual. She was so thin. I gave her some of my dogs' Stella and Chewy freezer dried patties and some chicken jerky. She chowed down 1.5 patties and a piece of chicken jerky. Poor thing. Another lady from CA walked up and was thinking about taking her home but not sure how she would do it since they flew here. I was considering taking her home to VA with me if no one takes her. Then a pickup truck pulled up, and a nice lady said that she was coming back to see if the kitten is still here, and would take her back to NH with her. That's when she informed me that the kitten is pregnant. If she decides to keep the kittens, she has a barn on her property. The kitten found a new home, and her new name us Albe, named after Abraham Lincoln 🥰. That was the highlight of my visit! This historic site us pretty small. Not much to see but still interesting to stop by on the way to the national historical site. The restrooms...

My wife and I stopped here on August 6th, 2024, while on an RV trip through Kentucky en route to Bardstown for some Bourbon Trail exploration. Sadly, the museum here was closed because it was a Tuesday and I can only guess the National Park Service couldn't afford to keep it open 7 days a week. It's in a rural area quite a ways from the nearest major highway, so I guess it doesn't get much visitor traffic. We had just driven here from the nearby Lincoln Birthplace about 10 miles away (which was open). In spite of the museum being closed here, we walked around the grounds here a bit (about 15 minutes), but did not have time to hike the full 7-mile long Knob Creek trail that surrounds the property where Lincoln grew up as a small boy. There were no dedicated parking spots for buses or large RVs, in the parking lot here, so we had to park sideways with my truck and small travel trailer in tow. Fortunately, since the museum was closed, there were no other cars in the parking lot. If you are visiting here on a crowded day and driving a big rig RV, a bus, or towing a travel trailer, you might have a...

Quick stop. We arrived before they opened and were able to view the boyhood home cabin and read the outdoor info signs while it was peaceful. Once they did open, the small indoor visitor center was a little tight when more visitors arrived. There was a film constantly looping but it was difficult to concentrate on it with others talking in the same area. The lady that works there was very friendly and helpful. She was walking around trying to answer everyone’s questions, plus look after some lady’s dog while the lady went inside the visitor center. There were two men working there but they weren’t very friendly at all. They sat behind the counter. I asked the older one a question and he just sat there looking at me like he wished I would go away. I felt sorry for the woman because it looked like she was having to do everything. Maybe this was a good example of where a couple of NPS...
