§218a Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park, Kentucky

Summary

Once donated, about 228 acres called Knob Creek Farm in Larue County, Kentucky will become part of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. The Secretary of the Interior may accept the land only by donation, using the map titled “Knob Creek Farm Unit, Abraham Lincoln National Historic Site,” map number 338/80,077, dated October 1998, which is on file at the National Park Service. The land will be managed as part of the historic site. The Secretary must study Knob Creek Farm and send a report to Congress within one year after November 6, 1998. The study must identify resources tied to Lincoln’s early boyhood, check threats to its cultural, recreational, and natural features, and plan how to add the farm into park operations. That plan must cover needed infrastructure, possible visitor and educational uses, and cost and revenue estimates. Money may be appropriated as needed to do the study.
