  The docent brought this house to life and I could imagine what it was like in the 1800s. Very knowledgeable and presented in an interesting way for all in the tour. I've always wanted to visit here and it did not disappoint...This tour was the highlight of my spring break! If you're looking for books, you've hit the jackpot at this gift shop. I knew very little about Mary Todd Lincoln, but learned so much during the one hour tour of her family's home. The docent was very knowledgeable and really gave us a great education on a frequently misunderstood First Lady.

  We had a wonderful visit. Tour guide was the matorof a local town and did a fantastic job, you could hear his love and enthusiasm for this house and Mary Todd Lincoln's history. $15 may see pricey but it all goes to preserve the history and is worth it.
