Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Inaugural Ceremony
Hodgenville, Kentucky
February 12, 2008
"I, too, am a Kentuckian." -- Abraham Lincoln, 1861
Abraham Lincoln’s rise from a Kentucky log cabin to the White House is American legend. February 12, 1809, the day of his birth, was recalled as bitterly cold and punctuated by sleet and freezing rain. Lincoln's 199th birthday, likewise, saw an ice storm that forced the cancellation of the inaugural ceremony of the nation's two year celebration of Lincoln's bicentennial.
In tribute to his life and ideals, and as a modest substitute to the ceremony that was planned for February 12, 2008, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission welcomes you to "Virtual Hodgenville." Join us as we celebrate America’s greatest president. Let’s “Live the Legacy” together.
"Virtual Hodgenville" will continue to evolve with the addition of audio and video from various of the scheduled participants. Please check back frequently for the latest updates.
