If you've a mind to hit the road about now, there's a route and a reason. Along the Lincoln Heritage Trail in Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois this fall, you'll find history, scenery, festivals and fun. The Trail, a 2,200-rpile, medallion-marked route, cuts a lazy circle through the three states, tracing the pre- Presidential life of Abraham Lincoln. Following a network of state and federal highways, the Trail meanders through the land young Lincoln knew and loved. Whether you're a Lin­ coln buff, or just have an average interest in the man who became our sixteenth president, you'll find, along the Grail, a vivid profile of the forces that shaped his early years. You can join the Trail anywhere along its circular route and design a trip tailored to your interests and touring time. The logical place to begin, of course, is where Lincoln himself began -- in Kentucky. From there, the Trail winds north toward In­ diana, Lincoln's home for twelve years, and on into Illinois where it comes to a climactic end at his tomb in Springfield In between, you'll find much to see and do On the Kentucky branch of the Lincoln Heritage Trail, festivals are an autumn specialty The Trail's route through the Bluegrass state takes you to the Lincoln bir­ thplace at Hodgenville and sites significant in Lincoln's adult life If your travels take you to Kentucky in September, plan to include a weekend visit to Shakertown at Pleasant Hill where special "heritage weekends" include per­ formances of Shaker mUsic and demonstrations of such early American skills as blacksmithing. candledipping, quilting, butter churning, cottage cheese making and herb processing The dates are Sept. 9-10, 16-17 and 23-24 Visitors to Shelbyville.

In November, it's back to Shakertown for an Herb Workshop weekend Nov. 17 and 18 with lessons in making wreaths and potpourris in time for Christmas gift-giving. Although Lincoln was born in Kentucky, he really did his growing up in Indiana. Here, he attended school when he could and read every book he could borrow. The people of Indiana helped shape young Abe and today, along the Trail, they remember him with autumn celebrations that recall America's pioneer traditions. At the Lincoln Boyhood national memorial near Lin­ coln City, life as it was lived on the frontier is practiced even today. The National Park service maintains the Lincoln farm much as it was when young Abe lived there. Period plants grow in the garden and costumed hostesses demon­ strate wool carding, spinning, butter churning and dozens of other skills that once provided life's necessities.
