Celebrating our First 50 Years

This year marks the 50^th Anniversary of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. In honor of this historic event, the National Park Service has a full calendar of celebratory events.

The annual Lincoln Day program on February 19, 2012 will kickoff our 50th anniversary events. This program is being held on the actual 50th anniversary date of the signing of the legislation that created Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.

Ceremonies to honor Abraham Lincoln and his mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln have long been a tradition at this site. An integral part of the annual Lincoln Day program includes a walk, or pilgrimage, to the gravesite of Nancy Hanks Lincoln.
