Lincoln Heritage Trail

The Kentucky Historical Society and the Kentucky Heritage Council have teamed up to revamp Kentucky’s Lincoln Heritage Trail (KLHT) for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commemoration.

The Lincoln Heritage Trail is comprised of 12 primary sites along the main circuit of the trail, with various spurs to place Abraham Lincoln within a broader Kentucky context.  The main circuit of the KLHT will focus on 11 counties: Boyle, Breckinridge, Fayette, Franklin, Hardin, Jefferson, Jessamine, Larue, Madison, Mercer, and Washington.  The main circuit also passes through Bullitt, Garrard, Nelson, Shelby, and Woodford counties, with several other counties being affected by spur routes.
