The Real Birthplace of Lincoln? Lost in Kentucky History

In Part 1 of this special two-part series, we’re joined by Gwinn Thompson, author of The Lincoln Family: Its Lost & Hidden History, for a deep dive into Abraham Lincoln’s earliest days in Kentucky. Drawing from years of research, Gwinn shares new insights about the Lincoln family’s roots in Mill Creek, Hardin County, and Beechland in Washington County, shedding light on long-overlooked locations and misunderstood facts about Lincoln's birthplace and childhood.

This episode challenges familiar narratives, bringing historical clarity to the early life of America’s 16th president—and the Kentucky communities that shaped him.
