The log cabin associated with Abraham Lincoln's birth sits inside a large memorial hall, its log walls and stone chimney section set behind a chain barrier. Three visitors, two men and a woman, stand at the rail looking toward the cabin. Decorative windows and a polished floor give the room a formal, museum-like air. The printed caption identifies the cabin as Lincoln's birthplace, noting his birth on February 12, 1809, and the surrounding park near Hodgenville as the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site.
