Also, the Lincoln Pioneer Village Museum & Village reopens. The village is made up of 14 log cabins that are replicas of structures once located in Spencer County, which played a role in Abraham Lincoln’s life while living in southern Indiana from 1816-1830.

The Santa Claus Museum & Village will open for weekends. Discover the story of the town and how it got its name. Page through decades of children's letters to Santa Claus.
