- Adjacent to the Sinking Spring Farm is the Nancy Lincoln Inn, a privately-owned gift shop and museum that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The inn and four nearby cabins were constructed of chestnut logs and red heart pine in 1928. Until World War II, meals were served at the inn, and the cabins were rented to overnight guests. In 2005, owners Carl and Sharon Howell, Jr. restored the cabins to their original historic appearance, and they are once again available for overnight rental. The cabins are air-conditioned, but in keeping with their historic character, do not have indoor plumbing. However, full sanitary facilities are close by in a modern bathhouse.
