History and Heritage

History is alive throughout the area

History runs deep in Santa Claus, Indiana, and at sites throughout Lincoln’s Indiana Boyhood Home. From the spot where a young Abraham Lincoln once lived with his family to the world’s first themed attraction, you’ll find pieces of the past around every corner.

Visits to historical sites can be both educational and fun for the whole family. Children (and adults, too) have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the people, places, and eras they’ve only read about in books.

Whether you’re a history buff or just have an appreciation for a “simpler time,” you’ll want to include these historical sites and attractions on your itinerary.
