“I remember the old home very well:” The Lincolns in Kentucky chronicles the years Abraham Lincoln’s family spent in Kentucky. Using a wealth of original documents, most of which have never been published in any form before, and large numbers of which were uncovered during production, the story follows Captain Abraham Lincoln (President Lincoln’s grandfather) and his family’s settlement in Kentucky in 1781, Captain Lincoln’s tragic death in 1786, and then the thirty-four years his son, Thomas (President Lincoln’s father), spent in the Commonwealth. Nearly 100 actors and actresses appear in the film; scenes were filmed at fifteen locations in Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana. You will feel the hardship and loss Thomas Lincoln and his wife, Nancy Hanks, suffered due to disease and death while living and trying to raise a family. In the end, the Lincolns moved to Indiana because they lost all their lands in Kentucky. Little Abraham was seven years old. Through all their travails, Thomas and Nancy raised young Abraham Lincoln with a pride in the fact that he was a Kentuckian, an identity about which he never failed to remind everyone he knew throughout his life.
