Touring the Home of Abraham Lincoln plus his Old Neighborhood

Welcome to Springfield, Illinois. Today, we will be walking around the old neighborhood of Abraham Lincoln and touring the home he shared with his family. The Lincoln's moved into this home in 1844 and lived here until leaving for Washington DC to assume the presidency. He never again returned to Springfield until his burial. Today, we will talk about Abraham Lincoln's life here, tour the home, walk around the neighborhood, and visit a neighboring home as well as the visitor center. Join me today as we step back in time and visit the home of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.

Preserving not only the home but the neighborhood too really makes it feel like you've stepped back in time. Love it! 🇺🇸

I wish neighborhoods were still like that today. That would be lovely.

Abe is one of my favorite Presidents. He endured a lot growing up, and then to become one of the most prominent Presidents in American history is fascinating. He was a great President. He did this country proud.

I am Australian and admire Abraham Lincoln as one of the truly outstanding heroes of human history. I visited Springfield several years ago and visited the home every day for a week or so. It was a privilege to visit his home. I also visited his nearby tomb and the remains of New Salem where he lived as a very young man. I was driven to New Salem in a spectacular act of kindness by an American woman. Someone looking for a business idea might consider running a van for tourists between Springfield and New Salem!

I grew up in Washington, a suburb of Peoria, Illinois. For our 8th grade field trip, we went to Springfield and toured Lincoln’s home, law office, and tomb, as well as the nearby State House. It turned out to be a pivotal event in my life, since seeing the legislature in action and relics of Lincoln’s law practice inspired in me the determination to become a lawyer. Consequently, I later went to law school and practiced law for 30 years before retiring. All inspired by a trip to Springfield!

I live in Springfield. I ride a bike to and from work every day through this area. The homes are beautiful and the park Rangers do an amazing job.

I visited Lincoln's home over half a century ago as a pre-teen. What do I remember the most? The outhouse, of course.

Mr Lincoln was a friend of my great grandmothers family when they lived in the Peoria/Normal/Bloomington area. In his work with the courts Mr Lincoln had to travel to different towns and would stay with close friends. So he would stay with my great great grandparents Joshua and Margaret Dunnock. Mr Lincoln had great affection for their little daughter Sara and would set her on his knee. This would have been 1852/3. So much before his presidency.

I went through the house as a child. My Uncle's middle name was Lincoln, as the president was my Grandmother s favorite.

Nice well maintained home. One of the best President United States ever had

I went to Springfield, Illinois last year in 2023 with my mom on Saturday July 8, 2023 and I visited President Abraham Lincoln’s House. 🇺🇸🏡😃

He is and always will be my favorite president.

When we last visited Lincoln’s home, it was a wonderful experience. My daughter uses a wheel chair & as soon as a park guide saw her he personally lead us to the back yard. The back porch lowered to ground level & we both got on & then it raised & we basically took the tour backwards & it was wonderful. We could not go upstairs but we saw everything on the first floor & did not feel like we missed anything. It was really great.

I think the home was lovely! President Lincoln did quite well considering that he was born in a log cabin! 😊❤

[DD-hynl]
