The NPS contracted with North Wind Resource Consulting, LLC (North Wind) to prepare a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Determination of Eligibility (DOE) for Mission 66-era resources located within the Birthplace Unit of Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. This documentation is part of a larger effort by the Southeastern Regional Office to record and provide NRHP DOEs for Mission 66-era properties and cultural landscapes located within the 88 Park Service units currently under its management. The on-site inspection of the Birthplace Unit of Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park resulted in the identification of 20 Mission 66-era resources. These resources were first evaluated for individual eligibility for listing in the NRHP and were then evaluated as contributing or non-contributing resources to two potential historic districts following the guidance established in the NPS Mission 66 Era Resources Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPDF) in 2015. Of the 20 resources documented by North Wind as part of the current study, only the Visitor Center is recommended as individually eligible for listing in the NRHP. The Visitor Center is recommended as individually eligible for listing in the NRHP at the local level under Criterion A, under the themes of Community Planning and Development and Entertainment/Recreation for its association with the Mission 66 program as part of the development of the National Park System. The period of significance for the Visitor Center is defined as beginning with its completion in 1959 and ending in 1973 with the completion of the final improvements planned as part of the park’s Mission 66 Master Plan. Additionally, the Visitor Center retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, as defined by the NRHP.
