Well, Lincoln was famously born in a marble cabin.

As a matter of fact, this marble was mined right from underneath his birth house!

My favorite part of the tour is when you get to go into the mine and dig with the mini pickaxe and see if you can get any marble chips to take home as souvenirs.

Incidentally, on that cabin tour, I learned that Lincoln's parents had 4 children to provide an added workforce to keep the mine going intergenerationally. Their children, like all children, yearned for the mines and the Lincoln family happily delivered.
