Lincoln Memorial Garden

The Garden represents the landscape Abraham Lincoln would have known growing up and living in the Midwest, containing plants native to the three states he lived in -- Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois. 

Designed by internationally-known landscape architect Jens Jensen, this 100-acre site features six miles of trails, footbridges, a pond, eight stone council rings, and dozens of wooden benches inscribed with Lincoln quotes.

The woodland and prairie garden beckons to thousands of visitors year round -- families, birdwatchers, photographers, artists, nature enthusiasts, and school children -- to learn about nature and enjoy the wildflowers, trees and wildlife.
