Lincoln Birthplace National Park We celebrated the Lincoln Bicentennial by visiting the Lincoln Birthplace National Park.  We lunched at the famed Whistle Stop Restaurant in historic Glendale prior to the park visit.

Young at Heart traveled to historic Glendale on August 12th to lunch at the famed Whistle Stop Restaurant. The food was true to its reputation and was enjoyed by all from the fried green tomatoes to the luscious entrees and vegetables and salads. And the desserts were simply fabulous with many favorites consumed such as Ice cream fudge cake, mile high coconut pie and so on.

Afterwards, we walked the lunch off at Hodgenville at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Park, a beautiful site and deserving memorial to our 16th president and perhaps one of our greatest presidents. It was an enlightening visit for all of us. Thus the day was enjoyable as we returned passing by the boyhood home of Lincoln at New Haven. We also passed by the site of an earlier YAH visit to the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemane in Nelson County.
