In the fall of 1808, Thomas and Nancy Lincoln settled on the 348 acre Sinking Spring Farm. Two months later on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-room log cabin near the Sinking Spring. Here the Lincolns lived and farmed before moving to land a few miles away at Knob Creek. The area was established by Congress on July 17, 1916. An early 19th century Kentucky cabin, symbolic of the one in which Lincoln was born, is preserved in a memorial building at the site of his birth.

On February 12, 1809, the Sinking Spring Farm, named after a small limestone spring, became the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. Less than three years later, in 1811, Thomas Lincoln, the President's father, moved the family to Knob Creek Farm, located about 10 miles northeast. Later moves eventually took the Lincoln family to Indiana and Illinois.
