Lincoln is a state park in Indiana. It is located 34 miles east of Evansville, IN.
The only direct connection to Abraham Lincoln, besides the fact that he lived near here, is that the home of an employer, Colonel Jones Home, is at the park. It was established to honor Lincoln's biological mother, Nancy, who died nearby while the Lincoln family resided in Indiana. It is close to Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, which lies just on the other side of State Road 162. The ampitheatre features the play "Young Abe Lincoln" every summer.
There are 10 miles of trails in the park.
