I also have some old, and rare, books about the president and the cottage is not mentioned in them. <BR/><BR/>It is amazing to me how little we actually know about anybody, much less a president.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the alert. I enjoyed reading this and also enjoyed seeing it in your photographs.<BR/><BR/>Abraham Lincoln<BR/>Brookville Daily PhotoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-18809144192946124262008-08-11T22:13:00.000+02:002008-08-11T22:13:00.000+02:00Prof: You betcha!

I should have said in my entry that the Lincoln Cottage only just opened a National Trust for Historic Preservation site about a year and a half ago. Prior to that, it was just a building at the AFRH that served a variety of functions over the decades.<BR/><BR/><BR/>J&J: Welcome! Thanks for stopping by! I'll be sure to stop by Abe's blog today. He's left comments here a few times and I visit his blog from time to time. <BR/><BR/><BR/>VJ: Thanks! Just consider me your free guide to our Nation's Capital! You can enjoy all the sites without the headache of traffic, the crush of tourist, or the discomfort of brutal heat, humidity, and mosquitoes!Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-49126806967415032272008-08-11T22:03:00.000+02:002008-08-11T22:03:00.000+02:00Great photos and info today.

You should visit Brookville Daily Photo and tell him about this post. He's related to Abraham Lincoln and his name is Abraham Lincoln. He has a great blog if you haven't seen it, you must do so.Jack and Joannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778598668660834055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-8649644258319769902008-08-11T16:48:00.000+02:002008-08-11T16:48:00.000+02:00What an interesting area and thanks for the great ...What an interesting area and thanks for the great history lesson!
