Honest Abe's recreated cabin in a big granite box

Dad, Mom and Karyna are in town.


So, of course we have to do the touristy things...


The Lincoln Birthplace Memorial was on that list of stuff to see.


So, a fake log cabin inside a big granite building. This is what the house he was born inside is thought to have looked like. Well, other than the big building built around it. And the window might have had greased paper to keep the outside outside, and it would have been full of smoke from the fireplace without a chimney... Stuff like that.


So, there's a big hole in the ground that has water in it that our 16'th president might have drunk from from birth to age 2.


As Karyna describes it, "There's a big hole in the ground, with scum on it. And there's water coming out of the scum!"


She's my cutie!


and a heck of a photographer...
