Now entering…. Indiana! State #17 of 50-States-Before-They-Graduate. Stops for this trip were planned solely from the recommendations of Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood readers! For our Mid-Eastern States Itinerary, click here.

Our family just barely made it into Indiana on our big Mid-Eastern States trip.  Our only stop was Lincoln’s Boyhood Home in Lincoln City, IN.

The five sculptured panels of the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial illustrate the steps in Abraham Lincoln’s life that brought him from small cabin life in Kentucky and Indiana to the White House.

The childhood years of Lincoln at Sinking Spring and Knob Creek farms (1809 to 1816): 

The boyhood days of Lincoln (1816 to 1830):

The years of political ascendancy (1830-1861):

The years of command (1861-1865):

“And now he belongs to the ages.”

 

After touring the building, we hiked the Trail of Twelve Stones, a memorial trail that reviews some of the major events in the life of Abraham Lincoln on the way over to the Living Historical Farm.

“My childhood-home I see again,
And gladden with the view:
And still as mem’ries crowd my brain,
There’s sadness in it too.
-Abraham Lincoln, 1845

That was all for Indiana (this time)! And… believe it or not, that wraps up our Mid Eastern States trip.  It only took me five months to finish writing about it!  Whew!  {At least it’s not as bad as Florida, which was 9 months ago… Not to mention, I’ve not even written much about Tennessee yet.}
So… have you been to Indiana?  We’d love to read your story!
