This was an awesome tour. It lasted about 1/2 hour - a very educational and interesting 30 minutes! The house is set up exactly as it was when Abe was living there with his family, before he left for the White House. It's pretty incredible to just step right into his everyday life, including his bedroom, his parlor, and his... More

I'm so pleased that Lincoln's home and neighborhood were taken over by the National Parks Service so that a precious piece of American history can be preserved for future generations. As other reviewers have stated, the visitor center is a great place to learn about the significance of the area before actually taking the tour. I enjoyed the tour and... More

The visitor centre is well set up, and the video well worth watching. We arrived just as it was opening, and had no wait for the free tour of the house. The neighbourhood is just brilliant, with signs on each restored house, detailing the occupants there in Lincoln's time. As Australians, we had much to learn about the man and... More

If you're coming to Springfield, this should definitely be on your itinerary.

They have acquired many of the properties in the area, so that visitors can see what the "neighborhood" would have... More

We toured the house after a 40 minute wait - you must get tickets in the visitor center. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the home. By all mean, put this on you agenda in Springfield. BTW: We parked on the street and fed the meter at a substantial savings over the attraction parking... More

One of the best places to visit in springfield, go early and get your free tickets to visit president lincolns home. Be careful not to touch the walls, door frames, or doors since they are original to the house. Make sure to watch the film in the welcome center and take a stroll around the neighborhood.

The Lincoln Home is one of Springfield’s Premier attractions. I arrived shortly after the site opened and was greeted in the visitor’s center where I found the rangers and staff very helpful and knowledgeable about not only the Lincoln Home but other sites in the area. There are a limited number of parking spaces available in the lot adjacent to... More

Took an 8th grade class here today. I have been visiting this site pretty regularly for the past 7 years. Today was the quickest tour of the house. There was a Ranger at each point of the house to tell us important facts in each room. This high point was the new Lincoln movie at the Welcome center office and... More

The ranger that we had for our guide was very knowledgeable of the Lincoln home and what went on there with Mary Todd and the boys.
