The selected park is Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park, which is
situated at 2995 Lincoln Farm Rd. off of U.S. 31E, nearby, Louisville, KY. This contains two

historical area contains picnic areas and walking trails. The Birthplace section comprises of the
Memorial Building and 116 acreages of Thomas Lincoln's Sinking Spring Farm (National Park
Services. (n.d.). The walking tracks follow the trails of the Lincoln's oldest times, through the
popular Sinking Spring, and the areas of the borderline marker oak tree. The tracks at the Knob
Creek Farm area track the rivulet where tender Abraham and allies used to play and work.
For over 100 years, visitors from different parts of the world have visited the countryside
Central Kentucky to respect the lowly foundations of the sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln.
His childhood, like on Kentucky's frontline, molded his personality and equipped him to head the
country through the Civil War. The first cenotaph, constructed with contributions from old and
young, treasures the emblematic birthplace cabin.
The reason for selecting this place is following its important implication and significance
to the US as a nation. The national park is meant to honor the humble beginning of the president
following his significant contribution to shaping the current status quo of the US.
