Learn more about Lincoln by visiting the only home he ever owned. Awesome amount of history and great job by US Forest Service

The home is situated in an area of downtown Springfield with several other preserved homes and has been mostly maintained as it would have been when the Lincoln's lived there. The tour is free, but you must take a guided tour. You can not explore the house on your own.

Liked its historic value, wished there was more homes to view the inside

For one, the home is in amazing condition...the continued work to keep it restored has been effective. But, now there is a 4 block "park" to the site, containing a visitor center, many additional homes, rangers to guide you, and no cars to... More
