Postcard: Lincoln Marriage Cabin
"Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, parents of Abraham Lincoln, were married in the cabin June 12, 1806, by Rev. Jesse Head. The cabin has since been moved to Fort Harrod at Harrodsburg, where it is housed in the Lincoln Marriage Temple. Fort Harrod is an exact reproduction of the first settlement in Kentucky."
