From the National Park Service website

Upon leaving Kentucky, Thomas Lincoln brought his family - which included a 7-year-old Abraham Lincoln - to this location in Indiana. Here a young Abe learned about frontier life from the hard work his father endured as a carpenter and farmer to the death of his mother and sister. The lessons learned here and on the nearby Ohio River, the now 21-year-old Abraham Lincoln took with him when his father moved the family to Illinois.
