Shelter For Lincolns

In the autumn of 1816 the family of Abraham Lincoln, then 7 years old, migrating to
Indiana, rested and recuperated about three weeks in a cabin that stood near here. 
Local residents gave them food.  Lincoln route in Kentucky started near Hodgenville
and went through Elizabethtown, Vine Grove, Harned, here to Cloverport river ferry. 
Lincolns traveled by ox-cart.
