The Lincoln Tavern at Knob Creek was part of the private memorial to Abraham Lincoln that was begun by Hattie and Chester Howard in 1931. The log building was constructed as a roadside tavern to serve the new and growing automobile tourist trade of the era.
“When I came, I came to dance!” Proclaimed one of the many visitors who visit the Tavern Visitor Center, as she remembered this tavern while it was a popular dance hall and roadhouse in the 40’s. Later, the tavern was converted to a restaurant and gift shop. The Lincoln Tavern is part of the historic district that comprises the cultural landscape at Knob Creek.
