Watch your step through the neighborhood , as the wooden boardwalk slats can be uneven in some places. Also, go on the tour ; it's totally worth the free admission price.

Erik Rowley

No trip to Springfield is complete without a tour of our beloved 16th president's home. Walk through the very rooms the Lincoln family carried out their daily lives before moving to the White House!

Kristi

It's definitely worth the time to go see it! Ask about the free jr. ranger program for added fun/ education for kids! Our tour guide even made it fun for our little ones!

Stephen Barresi

Make sure you run your hand along the handrail on the stairs. It's one of the few things that you are allowed to touch in the house that Lincoln touched as well .

Irene Liu

admission is free but you have to get a ticket at the Visitor's Center. best to go on a good weather day so you can walk around the neighborhood . definitely worth visiting.

Gina

If you can catch a performance of The Lincoln Troubadours, don't miss it. They are almost surprisingly wonderful!

Chris B.

Visit the neighborhood Abraham Lincoln lived in! An entire block of 19th century homes have been preserved! Free ranger-led tours of Lincoln's house, first come first serve.

Jonathan Hern

The neighborhood around Lincoln's home and the home itself are truly wonderful places to spend some time.

Mary Todd, who was pursued by Stephen A Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, went insane for very good reasons.

This is such an entertaining and fun place to come to. Children love it.

Nice place to visit. Very inexpensive thanks to Lincoln's son Robert ordering that admision to the home was never to be charged.

Классный музей . Бесплатный. Просто оставьте им немного пожертвований, напишите отзыв и купите какую-нибудь ерунду в сувенирной лавке .
