Park Playlist: Greatest Hits This Saturday, we’re turning up timeless Americana vibes—foot-stomping tunes, campfire crackles & harmonica hums. Celebrate culture, community & classics! Don’t miss Junior Ranger Day activities at both visitor centers!

Park Playlist: Alternative Tracks For #NationalParkWeek, we’re tuning into the creative journey behind iconic spaces. Before settling on its neoclassical design, architect John Russell Pope explored a bold Beaux-Arts concept for the Memorial.

Park Playlist: Pop Edition Before playlists & pop stars, Stephen Foster’s melodies like “My Old Kentucky Home” were hits. In the 1800s, his songs were the pop music of the day, shaping the sound of a changing nation. Today, his legacy still echoes in places like Kentucky Derby.

Park Playlist: Nature Sounds Life on the Lincoln farm wasn’t silent—nature provided its own soundtrack. From creeks to birdsong, the world was never quiet. Step outside and listen—nature’s always speaking.

Park Playlist: Rock Edition This Kentucky region is named for its "knobs"—dome-shaped hills formed over millions of years. In this rocky landscape lies Knob Creek, once home to young Abraham Lincoln. The land is rugged, but the history runs deep, written in stone.

Park Playlist: Heavy Metal Honoring Abraham Lincoln through heavy metal today. Like Lincoln, metal embodies strength, resilience, and the fight for justice. A penny can make a difference, and a riff can change everything. What metal track represents Lincoln's legacy to you?

Park Playlist: Rhythm and Blues Can you hear the bells ring? These bluebells may not keep perfect rhythm, but they sure know how to put on a show every spring. Fun fact: Lincoln grew up with Appalachian folk music, which helped inspire the roots of R&B.

Park Playlist: Dance Music: In one era of its rich history, the Tavern served as a community dance hall, where neighbors came together to share music, movement, & tradition. Today’s Park Playlist theme is dance music—& while the sounds have evolved, the spirit remains the same.
