Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace & Fiddler On The Roof


Today we went to Abraham Lincoln's birthplace in Hodgenville and afterwards to the musical "Fiddler on the roof" in Danville. It was a pretty amazing day.
The small cottage Lincoln grew up
in with his sister and his parents.
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the US, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through a great constitutional, military and moral crisis – the American Civil War – preserving the Union, while ending slavery, and promoting economic and financial modernization. Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was mostly self-educated.
It was pretty cool seeing where he grew up and all this stuff :)

Afterwards we went to see the "The Fiddler On The Roof". I remember Spring 2011 when we had a project at school in Germany over this musical. In my mind it was much better here. I really enjoyed that. All in all it was a perfect sunday!
