An Idyllic Frontier Scene

The Lincolns typified families who settled on the Kentucky frontier in the early 1800s. They built self-sufficient lives around the area's natural resources. At Sinking Spring Farm, they cleared land to raise vegetables, used the trees to build and heat their home, hunted game, and raised their children, Sarah and Abraham. Artist Lloyd Ostendorf was commissioned to create this artwork of the Lincoln family by the owner of the Nancy Lincoln Inn, Carl Howell.
