About this postcard

A white classical memorial with a six-column portico and a decorative frieze stands at the head of a long staircase with several landings, mature trees flanking the steps beneath a blue sky with scattered clouds. The back caption states that the granite memorial shelters the log cabin where Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, and that the 116½-acre National Historic Site preserves most of the original Thomas Lincoln Farm, known as the Sinking Spring Farm, two miles south of Hodgenville, Kentucky.
