  • Ted did an awesome job on our tour. This place is free and gives plenty of historical information about Abraham Lincoln and his family as they lived in Springfield, Illinois. Well worth the visit...

  • If you ever get a chance I would highly recommend doing the tour of Lincoln's home. The tickets are free and on a first come first served basis, so keep that in mind during the busy season. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, but gave off kind of a cranky vibe. I don't think he was too thrilled that we had an infant, toddler, and 6 year old. But our kids were well behaved and really enjoyed the tour. It was nice to be able to walk the street afterwards and take in the other historical homes in the vicinity as well. If you're feeling generous you can leave a donation so that they can keep this great program running.
  • I never knew this existed until I was passing through Springfield. Not sure how that happened, lol. The tour is free and definitely informative! A must for anyone that loves our history.
