Lincoln Gardens“Lincoln Gardens was the second Federal Housing project created under the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. Designed to replace eleven acres of housing in poor repair, the Lincoln Gardens’ sixteen new apartment buildings opened on July 1, 1938 to provide housing for African-Americans with moderate incomes. While most of the apartment buildings were eventually razed, the last building now houses the Evansville African American Museum.” Source: https://livingnewdeal.org/projects/lincoln-gardens-housing-project-evansville/https://amusingartifacts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/mss-181-367.jpgMSS 181-367Aerial view of Lincoln Gardens under construction.

This is her actual gravesite, in the Pioneer Cemetery portion of the Memorial. She died in 1818 in her mid-30s from milk sickness, a disease caused by drinking milk produced by cows which have eaten white snakeroot, which poisons their milk. Her son was only 9 years old at the time of her death. The headstone seen here was erected in 1879 “by a friend of her martyred son.” Source: MSS 124-858, Eric Braysmith collection.https://amusingartifacts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/mss-124-862.jpgMSS 124-862This cabin is at the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial in Spencer County, IN.
