Lincoln Cabin Accepted by Nation

1916

The humble log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, on Feb. 12, 1809, is now the property of the United States, having been accepted for the Nation by President Wilson in his speech at Hodgenville, Kentucky, last week. The cabin is in the beautiful granite Lincoln Memorial, on the summit of a hill two miles from Hodgenville.
