Henry Ford admired President Lincoln's character and collected many Lincoln-related artifacts, including the Logan County, Illinois courthouse in which Lincoln had practiced law in the 1840s. At the opening of Greenfield Village on October 21, 1929, President Herbert Hoover ignited a memorial fire in the courthouse fireplace. In 1937, President Hoover returned to drop another log on the still-burning blaze.
