Student Day

Wednesday, September 20th, 2023
(Closed to Public)

Fifth-grade students across Breckinridge County, including Cloverport Independent Schools Students are invited each year to participate in our annual Student Day! Students discover what life was like during the Civil War period through performances by Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by Larry Elliot, as he tells stories about the nation’s 16th president and Judge Holt. Tour guides walk students and their teachers through the historic home as they shared stories about Holt’s legacy, state partnership, and continued restoration on the last official Kentucky Lincoln site in the Commonwealth.

Charlie Corbett, Friends’ Director, pulls pen from the cannon while Susan Dyer eagerly awaits her turn.
