Men heave logs onto a horse-drawn wagon in this view of the original Abraham Lincoln log cabin being taken apart at College Point, New York, on February 21, 1906, according to the caption. The cabin was bound for the Lincoln Farm at Hodgenville, Kentucky, near where Lincoln was born in 1809, so it could be set up again there. The move reflected a broader early twentieth-century effort to preserve Lincoln sites and to honor the cabin as a symbol of his humble origins. The photographer, J.F. Wieners of College Point, made the print, and its date and details come from an old caption card that has not been independently verified.
