Join us on November 6, 2026 from 5:30–7:30 pm for a candlelight evening program at the Living Historical Farm, located within Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial! This program offers park visitors a glimpse of what it was like to live as Abraham Lincoln and his family 200 years ago in southern Indiana. Explore the peaceful, evening atmosphere of an 1820-era homestead, illuminated only by candlelight, lanterns, and the glow from the fire, watch demonstrations inside the cabin and in the cabin yard. Engage in conversation with park rangers and volunteers about pioneer life!

Though there is a fire lit in the cabin’s fireplace, dress for the outside weather.

Fees

This event is free to attend.
