This morning we traveled to the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln in Kentucky. He was born here in a log cabin that sat roughly where the stone monument is located. Inside is a replica of the 16' x 18' one-room log home where he was born and lived for two years. It was a humble beginning. The triangular log home that we read about in grade school was about seven years later when they moved 90 miles west in the fall. I am sure that that was much more humbling. Anyway it was inspiring to stand near where the 16th President was born.
