Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial
Be A Junior Ranger

The Junior Ranger Program is designed to help educate children about the significance of Abraham Lincoln's life in southern Indiana. The program consists of viewing the 15 minute park orientation film, visiting the gravesite of Nancy Hanks Lincoln and the Cabin Site Memorial and to complete an activity booklet. When these activities are completed, the participant receives a Junior Ranger certificate, badge and patch.
