President Lincoln's Cottage, Washington DC

We had a great tour guide named, Asia. She really knew a lot and made the experience quite enjoyable. What I enjoyed from the cottage was that it is not about the furniture and having red ropes up so that people cant touch anything, its about having a discussion about Lincoln, slavery,his family their tragedy and how he lived and dealt with nation during the Civil War. It is a powerful and eye opening experience, you really get to understand who President Lincoln was and the legacy he left. Truly recommend.

Be prepared for the guard gate you will first encounter. The cottage is located on the grounds of an Armed Services retirement home so it's a full ID check to get in and the guard we encountered wasn't all that friendly. That being said it's a great little tour of a lesser known attraction. You will not get the deep historical information about the house and what each room was or how it was decorated like most other home tours and that's part of the tour knowledge you gain, but be prepared if that's what you're expecting.
