Lincoln State Park
— the woods the family worked and walked.
Not only on a wall.
Lincoln State Park, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.
Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.
Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.
Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.
“Lincoln State Park sits on land that was once part of the Lincoln family's southern Indiana farm. Sarah Lincoln Grigsby, Abraham's older sister, is buried in the Pigeon Baptist Church cemetery on the south edge of the park. The Civilian Conservation Corps built most of what visitors walk today, in the 1930s. A 58-acre lake holds the centre, with oak and hickory rising from its shore. — from the studio
The place, in three passes.
Lincoln State Park covers 1,747 acres in Spencer County, southwest Indiana, established in 1932 on land adjoining the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the trails, shelters, and beach between 1934 and 1942. The park's centre is the 58-acre Lake Lincoln, with a swimming beach on the north shore and a campground for around 270 sites. The Lincoln Amphitheatre, a 1,500-seat outdoor venue, opened on the park's east side in 1987 and stages a summer season of musical productions drawn from Lincoln's life.
Lake Lincoln was impounded in the 1930s by a CCC-built earthen dam across a small tributary of the Anderson River. The lake covers 58 acres, holds bass, bluegill, and channel catfish, and is open to electric-motor boats only. A second smaller lake, Weber, sits at the south end of the park near the picnic area. Both lakes drain south toward the Ohio River, seven miles distant. Spring runoff fills both basins quickly; by August the levels drop a foot or more below summer pool.
The park is open daily, with a gate fee per vehicle. Camping runs from April through October, with both electric and primitive sites. The Lincoln Amphitheatre stages outdoor productions through the summer, and the Sarah Lincoln Grigsby gravesite in the Pigeon Baptist Church cemetery is reached by trail from the south picnic area. The park connects to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial by foot trail a quarter mile north. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has managed the park without interruption since 1932.
