Jacob Lincoln House, c. 1800

A c. 1900 timber frame barn, salvaged from central Pennsylvania, is currently being rebuilt on the Lincoln Homestead property. The original Lincoln barn was burned during Sheridan’s Shenandoah Valley campaign in 1864.

This c. 1900 barn from central Pennsylvania is being reconstructed at the Lincoln Homestead.

The Lincoln Family Cemetery is always open for visitors. Look for the sign along the old Rt. 42 roadbed on the north end of the property, park along the road, and follow the sign. However, there is no access to the rest of the property, except for scheduled events. The house and remaining grounds are a private residence and there is no trespassing.
