Lincoln Cabin Historic Structure Report - National Park Service - Bog

In 1911, a grand Memorial Building was constructed near Hodgenville, Kentucky, at the site of Sinking Spring Farm, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. The building and 110 acres were donated to the Federal Government in 1916, forming Abraham Lincoln National Park; in 1939 the National Park Service became steward of the park. The park was renamed Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in 1959.
