The story of Hodgenville

Hodgenville, Kentucky, nestled in the heart of Larue County, is a town deeply intertwined with the life of Abraham Lincoln. Established near the place of Lincoln's birth, the town's identity is inextricably linked to the 16th President. Its significance lies not only in being the gateway to the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park, featuring the preserved Sinking Spring Farm where Lincoln was born, but also in its rich agricultural heritage, having been a significant agricultural hub throughout its history. The town's development was significantly impacted by its strategic location along transportation routes, including early turnpikes that facilitated trade and movement of people. Early industries revolved around farming, lumber, and milling, contributing to the town's initial growth and sustenance.
