2026 ALP Conference – Bardstown, KY
Please save the date (April 9th – 12th, 2026) and plan on joining the Association of Lincoln Presenters in our annual conference in the “Bourbon Capital of the World”, Bardstown, Ky!
During our 2026 conference, we will visit many significant Lincoln historical venues including the Lincoln Museum and his birthplace in Hodgenville, KY. We will tour the Civil War Museum in Bardstown and also tour the “My Old Kentucky Home” State Park and mansion. We will eat at the historic Old Talbott Tavern where the Lincoln family stayed as young Abe witnessed a land dispute trial held across the street at the courthouse. This tavern is one of Kentucky’s oldest continuously operating establishments and the oldest stagecoach stop west of the Alleghenies. We will tour the Oscar Getz Whiskey History Museum, visit the Knob Creek home and visit the Kentucky Railway Museum highlighted by a lunch on the train. We will have daily guest speakers to enrich our knowledge of not only Lincoln, but the greater Bardstown area.
In addition to visiting the incredible venues, our host hotel will be the beautiful Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Bardstown. Hotel includes breakfast each morning, an indoor pool, and an exercise room.
