Nestled in a scenic village, Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home offers a glimpse into American history. The former summer home of Robert Lincoln, President Lincoln's eldest son, was completed in 1905 in the Georgian Revival style. The house was restored together with the outbuildings and gardens in 1978 when a non-profit organization bought the property. To learn more about the history of the place, watch the promotional video. Make the most of 19 km (12mi) of walking trails and visit the goat farm, teaching greenhouse, and the wooden Pullman palace car from 1903.

  Fascinating place. Lincoln's son did a fabulous job sitting and constructing the house. Go on a good day as much of what you see is spread out around the grounds. There is a tram to help you get around. It is handicapped accessible and for that they get kudos.
