Lincoln Marriage Cabin, Harrodsburg, KY

The Lincoln Marriage Cabin has been through some changes!  These old postcards show it when it was exposed to the elements.

The top one says-

"On November 4, 1842 Lincoln married Miss Mary Todd, Daughter of Robert S. Todd of Kentucky.

Oddly, that fact has little to do with the cabin pictured.

The bottom postcard gives a more accurate description of the Cabin in Harrodsburg-

Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, parents of Abraham Lincoln, were married in this 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.
