HODGENVILLE – The Knob Creek Tavern Visitor Center will be open to welcome visitors this spring at the Kentucky Boyhood Home Unit, part of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. The Knob Creek Tavern Visitor Center will be open 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (ET) including:
Weekends (Saturdays and Sundays only) of April, May, September, and October
Memorial Day to Labor Day on Thursday through Monday (5 days a week)
Starting April 1st, visitors will be able to explore the Tavern and museum exhibits that focus on the Lincoln family experiences at the Knob Creek Farm. Here, Lincoln’s first memories and influences molded his formative years. The Tavern has welcomed visitors from all over the world for 90 years. Opened in 1933 as a tourist site by the Howard family, today it has been restored to continue that tradition.
“We are very excited to once again open the Tavern for the tourism season and welcome visitors,” said Catherine Bragaw, Park Superintendent. “The community was instrumental in saving this farm and giving it back to the American people. Now, we are grateful that we can share the story of Lincoln and his formative years on the Kentucky frontier with visitors at this very special place.”
