Chris Lee:

"Beautiful place to visit in Autumn. There are no gate fees and the park is spacious and very well kept. The rangers here are super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. You can enjoy learning about a great president and traverse the fifty-six stairs to his memorial. It is very easy to find using Google Maps and there is plenty of free parking."

"Great visitor center, (Look for the President Lincoln Face of Penny's) Soo neat! My boy, 7 is very interested in American Presidents, He appreciates Lincoln for several reasons, ( I think it's just bc Lincoln is so very tall and dons the famous black beaver hat.) Helpful and kind staff, very clean and maintained property as well as Lincoln's actual birth house. Don't forget to check out the actual sunken spring! An expected treat and relief on a very hot and humid day. Oh, BTW, IT'S ALL FREE!!! (Except merchandise) Have fun with history!"
