Vice President Mike Pence surprised residents by taking an unannounced trip to Spencer County on Monday.
Pence arrived to the Evansville Regional Airport by midmorning before taking a motorcade to the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.
According to the Courier and Press, Pence visited the memorial to film a television ad.
The park was partially closed to the public between 8:30 and 4 pm “to provide security and ensure public safety during a filming event.”
