Lincoln City

Abraham Lincoln’s Indiana Boyhood Home

The small community of Lincoln City has a big claim to fame. The area is where a young Abraham Lincoln and his family lived for 14 years. State and national parks commemorate the boyhood of one of America's greatest presidents. It was here, in Indiana, where Abraham Lincoln was introduced to the power of books and the concepts of freedom, justice, and the law.

At Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, you can visit Nancy Hanks Lincoln’s gravesite and the spot believed to be the site of one of the Lincoln’s cabins. At Lincoln State Park, enjoy a variety of outdoor activities on the same grounds a young Abe worked and played, including the beach at Lake Lincoln, a nature center, and more. Lincoln Amphitheatre, a regional favorite, is nestled inside Lincoln State Park and provides live entertainment on select dates from May to October. 

Relax and enjoy the quiet when you stay at a vacation rental in Lincoln City, just five minutes from Santa Claus, Indiana.
