Abraham Lincoln's Home in Springfield, Illinois

We stopped for a couple nights in Springfield, Illinois so that we could visit the home of Abraham Lincoln and finish out our tour of the places Mr. Lincoln lived. This is a wonderful historical site that preserves not only Mr. Lincoln's home but the neighborhood he once lived, showing what middle class America was like in the 1860's.

Hi Adam whattaya know, I live just blocks from Lincolns home-!! FYI a few years back they did a big restoration on Lincolns home, it was found the indoor plaster was falling away from the wood lathe strips, so to save the original plaster the actually removed ALL the exterior wood siding so they could access, re-key and re-anchor the plaster by plastering it in place from the back side - then they restored all the original exterior wood siding boards and insulated the walls before re-applying and repainting the outside in its original colors. Ive been through both Lincolns tomb and his house on multiple occassions over the years with other people. Wish I could have met you guys while you were here, watch your vids all the time. Theres also the Abraham Lincoln presidential museum and the Abraham Lincoln / Herndon law offices up town you can visit where he worked as a lawyer with his boys running amock at the same time.

Terrific the entire neighbourhood is preserved, really adds context. Love the cicadas and shady trees, too.

Lincoln also lived in southern Indiana. There is a log cabin and the farm that he was raised on. There is a National Museum there too. It is close to Holiday World and Lincoln State Park at Lincoln City, Indiana.
We enjoy your channel!

Used to go to this house several times as a kid. I'm from Southern Illinois, so we always made several trips to Springfield for various things for either school or Boy Scouts, and family trips. Had some family friends that lived in Springfield so we'd go visit then every so often.

Thanks for the tour Adam & Abby. I've driven through Springfield many, many times over the last 32 years & never stopped to see it. One less thing on my bucket list now.

This is my hometown. I love this area and go here often. The entire area is very peaceful to me. I'm glad you came.

Thanks for showing this. I have lived here in Springfield almost my entire life and I take for granted it is still here. A true national treasure. New Salem is pretty interesting too, and should go when there are activities like the people dressed in period attire and when they do the plays at the theater. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is also really nice along with the restored Union Station Depot nextdoor.

Welcome to my neck of the woods. Those historic places mentioned in the comments are great places to visit.

i remember visiting here in the 60's as a teenager. we all sat on the three holes of the outhouse., a daddy, mommy and kid size hole. there wasn't a chain by the door then. we joked about leaving a "lincoln log". that outhouse, in my mind was the highlight of the tour. we also visited greenfield village, in detroit, which housed the chair lincoln got shot in, and the gun.oh, and also kennedy's death car.

Nice to see again. Been there several times. I have been to every place that Mr. Lincoln lived since his birth except one, The white House. Just imagine, my mom used to say. If those walls could talk. Thanks for the video.

The one thing I remember from visiting there was the three hole outhouse. Imagine the memories formed in that room. :)

I hope you visited the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield too! Its second to none! Designed by Disney Imagineers!

[savedbygraceevr]

Yes, it's very beautiful and he's quite interesting. Hope y'all went to Darcy's Pint to eat. Here in central Illinois we're known for horseshoes and they are soooo good!
