The Log Inn: The Oldest Restaurant in Indiana, and Abraham Lincoln Approved! (Haubstadt, Indiana)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Off the beaten path, and a place you probably didn’t know existed! Built in 1825, the Log Inn was a stagecoach stop, trading post, tavern and a place to dance! But in 1844, future president Abraham Lincoln stopped here to get a bite to eat, and as they say: the rest is history!
Still a great place to get home cooking and wonderful pies, it’s a must stop for Abraham Lincoln fans. The room where he dined, has Lincoln memorabilia and the original log walls. Simply a great stop for dinner, in Southern Indiana!

I've eaten at the Log Inn many times. It's a place my family goes for special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. Thanks for all of your interesting videos.
My pleasure, Greg! The Log Inn is ran by some very nice people, was an honor to make this one! 🙂
Nice to see a building that old so well preserved an so beautifully decorated with history. Thanks Roger. Glad your putting out so many videos again.
They’ve done a great job of it, definitely, and are really nice people!
I live in Boonville, IN, just south west of the Lincoln's boyhood home. It's rumored that Linclon frequently used the library in Boonville which has earned the city the phrase "where Lincoln learned the law."
I’d never heard that one. Thank-you!
Being a lifelong Civil War buff and a native Southerner my personal hero is General Robert E. Lee, so I certainly can appreciate your own feelings as a Yankee for Abe Lincoln.
Once upon a time we used to be able to all celebrate our history, heritage, and ancestors without acrimony and ugliness. Sadly, that seems to have changed in recent years and I really lament that.
Our national unity depends on mutual respect and consideration. The whole post-war reconciliation between the North and the South was founded on the belief that both sides fought with honor for earnestly held beliefs about the nature of our federal union.
The people who strive so hard to undo that today would not have found favor with either President Lincoln or with General Lee - both of whom greatly lamented the horror and bloodshed of the War Between the States. Food for thought….
I’ve left Facebook civil war forums where people try to revise history to fit modern ideas, villainizing all confederate soldiers with one paintbrush. Even as a Yankee, I understand the south’s position, the need for national reconciliation after the war, why confederate memorials were important, and believe Robert E Lee was a good man. The important thing is to learn from history, so bad things won’t happen again, not revise it to make people comfortable or superior.
That bar top is most likely made from a old growth poplar tree. They was in abundance and grew very large. A tree that was used for log cabins also.
I have grown up and still live about 5 miles from here. I remember when Grandpa would take the whole family here for dinner several times a year. They definitely serve family size portions.
You definitely don’t walk away hungry!
Thanks Roger, you're awesome.
My family and I visited the Log Inn when I got my first teaching job…of course we sat in the Lincoln Room!
Of course! 🙂 Such a great place!
I just come home from eating supper at the Log Inn and I got an update regarding your latest video, on The Log Inn. Keep up the good work in your videos.
Thank-you! Spread the good word, it’s a truly great stop in southern Indiana, and such nice people too! 🙂
Nice job sir there is so much to see in good old indiana
Surprisingly much! When I started the channel, I thought I‘d be done in a few months. Still going, 7 years later! 🙂
Eating there was a rewarding experience. Thank You for sharing this
My pleasure, David! Really good people and awesome history
So cool that this historic eatery is still in my business. Sounds like it seeves fine midwestern, stick to the rubs kind of food. Another wonderful Indiana backroads video!
Nobody goes away hungry, that’s a guarantee! I’m a pretty big eater, and I still bring a box home. 🙂
Interesting video. I love the Lincoln history in Indiana.
Thanks Michael! Rockport is another great Lincoln history stop, they even have a village that recreates his time in Indiana. I didn’t know it existed until a friend told me about it, a few years ago.
I’ve been binge watching your videos and have been enjoying them so much! My parents were born and raised in Indiana and some of my ancestors were early settlers and pioneers in southern Indiana as well as other parts of the state! Supposedly one branch of my family were neighbors to Abraham Lincoln! Thanks for teaching this history, it’s so interesting and it’s awesome that you’re sharing your knowledge ❤️
Well I have truly enjoyed the journey, places I’ve seen, and people I’ve met! It’s something I’d always wanted to do, given all the years my Parents took us on road trips. 🙂
America needs another Lincoln .
100%
Nice interesting ty 🏆🏆🙏🙏👴
The good old days
Love the history lesson thank you.
Absolutely Love the places you go and the history of my birth state.
I love this place. I stop by any chance I can get. ANd Good For You! Lincoln in a man to be admired in these trying times.
💯%. Have long considered making a channel that does biographies, of people that stood for something good. 🙂
That is so neat, eating where Abraham Lincoln got some food. Great video sir, thanks for taking us on the adventure.
Really good people that run the place, and the food is always wonderful! 🙂
I too am a big fan of our awesome president Abraham Lincoln. I didn’t think I’d ever see a plate of chicken livers ever again ☺️. What a cool place 🤗
Believe me, I had to take some home! It was a HUGE portion
@@AdventureswithRoger I mean ya just don’t ever see it on menus anymore ☺️
@@ginamaria2579 Even my local KFC stopped carrying chicken livers! That was my go-to! It’s an acquired taste though, my Mother got me liking them as a kid. “These have iron and will prevent you from getting boils.”
We have not heard of that place. So interesting! We, too, love Abraham Lincoln
It’s very homey and the food is great. If you’re ever in the Evansville area, it’s a short trip above I-64, think it’s 5 minutes tops.
@@AdventureswithRoger awesome 👍
This is minutes down the road from me I know the people who ran the log Inn personally they have done an excellent job for many many years of maintaining a standard and the historical value of that business for a long time. 5:29
💯%! Such a great stop for dinner, in an awesome atmosphere!
They have some good cooking there
YES they do! Have always left happy and FULL! 😄
Awesome video of an awesome restaurant, and an awesome Hoosier. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure as always! So many great, hidden things in southern Indiana!
@@AdventureswithRoger❤
Cool!
Nice video, Just another point of history from a former Hoosier - Abraham Lincoln was the first President to ever be photographed.
Always had a love of old restaurants. Here in CT we have the Griswold Inn, my favorite. Maybe one day I'll get to the Log Inn, it looks great.
VERY good food, especially if you have a big appetite! I’m a pretty big eater, but always have to bring some home. 🙂
Very nice. My grandfather is from Fort Wayne and my father was also born there before being raised very young in Brooklyn. He has Hoosier pride like yourself. I also remeber my grandfather be a Notre Dame football fan. Thank you for the video
Glad to do it! I’m a 6th generation Hoosier, and my parents were big into weekend road-trips across the state. I’ve just really had a love for it, since I was a kid.
Over 7 years ago, I got the idea to start this channel. People kept asking me, where they could go with their families. What started off as a three month project, has taken 6 years, and there’s a lot left! 🙂
@@AdventureswithRoger Awesome. Please, keep making them
Great history and I'm going to put on my visit list and have lunch there soon. Always enjoy your videos!
Thank-you! The secret is to get there a little before 5 pm. The place gets VERY busy.
Will do, thanks for info
We live in the Land of Lincoln in central , Il … his house , his museum , and his tomb , and new Salem where he lived was here when he left Indiana
I’ve wanted to get over there for many years. I’m a huge Lincoln fan!
Gonna take a day trip down there with the family. Thanks Roger!
Go hungry!
@@AdventureswithRoger I'm ALWAYS hungry!
😄 We must both be Hoosiers!
@@AdventureswithRoger Through and through!
I live very close to this place and I feel they have the best fried chicken you can ask for. Ive been around the eastern US and I cannot find one except to Buckners down south of Atlanta that even compares to this place.
I want to relocate there …
His father was Thomas Lincoln was sheriff of Cumberland Co KY around the time Abe would been born. There are documents that were saved from the courthouse fire that document this fact
Roger, you should check out the yellow tavern in New Harmony.
I'm sure it's not as old as log inn but it's a cool old spot to stop for a burger and a beer.
I love little old places with history, sounds like a good one! I’ve been all over New Harmony but never ate there.
I live in Santa Claus. What town is the Log Inn located? Love these videos you produce.
Great food, great people! Officially 12491 County Rd 200 E, Haunstadt, IN.
How good is the chicken livers? Just by looking at them they made my mouth water.
Pretty terrific! 🙂
It's a little know fact that Mr. Lincoln was the only president to design and patent his own ship. 😊
Another fun fact: he was well known as a champion wrestler in Indiana, and is memorialized in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Oh my goodness those Chicken Livers look so good! Have you been to The Chicken House just on the edge of New Albany? They have really good livers! ALL their food is so good!
Haven’t been to the Chicken House. Since KFC stopped carrying them, Lee’s is the only place I’ve been able to get them locally.
@@AdventureswithRoger you need a road trip to New Albany. I'll 100% guarantee you will love theirs! ❤️ And the service is wonderful!
I found a Chicken House, but it’s west of Sellersburg, in the country. Does that sound right?
Hi Lincoln was born in larue KY he moved to pigeon Creek at age 7 to age 21
i thought they closed never been, need to check it out
This is a bit old but does anyone know what Abe had for chow? Not sure what anyone was eating out in the 1850's but my mom made the best chicken livers for her fav son, by request, on my Bday.
Warrenton Indiana
The official map address is Haubstadt, but if you look up Warrenton, and zoom in: you see the Log Inn. The Log Inn brochure has both town names mentioned, with Haubstadt listed first.
The tie breaker for me, was when I typed in the name of the place, in UA-cam, where you register new videos, and it pulled-up Haubstadt. This feature links to online maps, and if people click on the link, they’ll be taken to a map of how to get there.
@@AdventureswithRoger ... Oh Haubstadt!! I've been there, didn't know about Warrenton though. My husband lived not far from there, Vincennes Indiana ~ LOTS of History there!! First city in Indiana, was a village during the Revolutionary War. The Fort the soldiers stayed at is roughly 1 block behind my hubby's home. Fort Knox.
Have I got a video for you!
