Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park

America’s 16th president held our nation together during a time of aggressive division. He was a beacon of light and hope as he lead the Union through America’s bloodiest war. The victory of the Union in the Civil War and the messages of abolition that Abraham Lincoln’s speeches demanded paved the way to the end of slavery in the United States. The country’s first memorial to Lincoln stands in his hometown in rural Kentucky.
