Keep talking, Ranger Lady; the door of the Winners Circle Club is ajar. Just kidding, of course. You're in.

I haven't weighed in on this one yet. I have had a hunch all day the rail fence clue in the title implies a connection to Abraham Lincoln, but you said it wasn't Abraham Lincoln Birthplace, so I'm going to guess it's the very Lincoln boyhood home in Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. Unfortunately, I've never been to that park, so I have no photos for comparison, and you implied it was a "site" (not "memorial"), making this a total shot in the dark! Be gentle!

Gentle? The Quizmeister is supposed to be gentle? Surely you jest!

This photo wasn't taken in the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. The rail fence mention was a red herring. Sometimes I hate myself. But not for long.
