Lincoln Boyhood: A Living Historical Farm
This study was undertaken at the request of the Assistant Director for Operations and is designed to provide reliable information on which the Service can base a plan for developing the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial as a living historical farm. All material, published and manuscript, in Washington, D. C. and Indiana repositories relating to Abraham Lincoln's Indiana years was reviewed. Travel accounts of persons visiting southwestern Indiana during the years 1806-1832 were studied, along with contemporary newspapers, gazetteers, guide books,and agricul.tural journals. County records on file in the Spencer County Courthouse at Rockport, Indiana, were examined. A fire which in 1833 destroyed the courthouse, along with most of the county records, hindered this phase of the project.
