In today’s modern world we use electricity to help us deal with the longer hours of darkness that come with winter. But what was it like for pioneers like the Lincolns in the 1820s? On Saturday, January 18 visitors will have an opportunity to find out when interpreters and volunteers at Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial will staff the cabin from 5:00-8:00pm. Abraham Lincoln is said to have often read by the light of the fire in the fireplace. The public is invited to come and see what that is like as well as enjoy such activities as spinning and storytelling – all within the atmosphere of a cabin illuminated by candles and lamps.Last updated: January 8, 2020
