By Request Ranger Programs
Lincoln Boyhood rangers offer a limited number of free, ranger-led, curriculum-based programs. These programs are correlated to Indiana learning standards, and provide students with an engaging learning experience by utilizing the park's natural and cultural resources as teaching tools. Programs are 2 hours long and are available between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm CST.
Memorial Visitor Center
Two memorial halls, sculptured panels, and interpretive museum displays showcase the cultural history of the park. Ranger-led programs of the visitor center are available upon request.
Lincoln Living Historical Farm
The Living Historical Farm is a working pioneer homestead with a log cabin, outbuildings, split rail fences, livestock, gardens and field crops. Rangers dressed in period clothing perform a variety of activities typical of daily life in the 1820s. Ranger-led programs of the farm are available upon request.
All programs require pre-registration. To arrange a special ranger program, please call the park at 812-937-4541. Ranger availability is not guaranteed. Calling ahead will increase the likelihood of a ranger being available on the day you plan to visit the park.
Promptness: if your group is scheduled for a ranger-led program, please be on time. A late arrival can cause your scheduled program to be shortened or cancelled, as rangers are often assigned to several activities throughout the day.
