Hodgenville prepares for Lincoln bicentennial celebration With just a 95 mile round trip from Columbia, Adair Countians can see two laboratory make-over towns, Greensburg and Hodgenville, which can be missed today because of the changing patterns of travel, particularly in routes to Louisville. Both communities are way ahead in downtown preservation/beautification. Columbia's Jimmy Downey has given Greensburg the highest critique: "It's prettery than Colonial Williamsburg," he said. - CM Commonwealth News Center story Downtown Hodgenville is getting a whole new look, just in time for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial celebration, which officially begins in early 2008. "At this point, we're about 85 percent complete," said Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse. "Things are starting to take shape and it's looking very good." The more than $2.3-million project includes a complete renovation of the town square with a new streetscape and central park area. An historical church located near the square is being converted into a civic center. A statue depicting a young Abraham Lincoln will be installed in spring 2008. Funding for the project came from several sources, including grants from both the national and state Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commissions. "We're changing the entire look of the downtown in terms of landscaping," said Cruse. "It's a very exciting time." The eyes of the nation will be on Hodgenville on February 12, 2008, as the site of the bicentennial kick- off commemorating the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Hodgenville is the seat of Larue County and is home to the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, the Lincoln Museum, and the Lincoln Boyhood Home on Knob Creek.
