This original oil painting by John Ackroyd, is currently on
display at the museum.
"The Abraham Enloe Cabin" was the former home of Nancy Hanks, mother of
Abraham Lincoln. Nancy birthed her black-haired baby boy, named Abraham,
about mid-February 1805. The content of this painting is based upon the
collaborative work of Tom Melton and John Ackroyd, Senior Rutherford County
resident artist. Tom contributed his life's collected information about the
traditional birthplace of America's 16th President to the museum and this
painting is based on the cabin's foundation and depicts both Tom and John's
mutualy agreed upon concept-reconstruction. The Abraham Enloe cabin and
farm were located on the hill above Puzzle Creek, some four miles northwest
of the Bostic Lincoln Center. The cabin was described as located between
Cherry Mountain and the Concord Baptist Church.
