Hodgenville, Kentucky: The National Park Service announces a public meeting to share the preliminary design alternatives for new exhibits for Lincoln Tavern at Knob Creek, the Boyhood Home Unit of Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the auditorium of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace Visitor Center located at 2995 Lincoln Farm Road in Hodgenville, Kentucky from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. EDT on Monday, August 1, 2016. The National Park Service is working with Color-Ad, Inc. of Manassas, Virginia and The Design Minds, Inc. of Fairfax, Virginia to design and fabricate the exhibits. In this preliminary phase of development, the design team will share three schematic alternatives for the exhibits to interpret Lincoln's life at Knob Creek. The exhibit planners and designers will show how they intend to distill the interpretive stories and themes into messages easily understood in exhibits. In this early stage, attendees can expect to see a bubble diagram, a tentative floor plan and a few illustrations for each alternative. The exhibits will focus on Abraham Lincoln's life and experiences while he was living at Knob Creek and how they shaped his later life and presidency. The exhibits are part of a multi-phase project at the Lincoln Tavern. An accessible restroom facility along with new sidewalks, improved landscaping and an expanded parking area have already been completed.
