Took a tour this morning of the only house that Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary owned.
The house is located in downtown Springfield. A two-block area is inaccessible to cars and maintains a historic charm with gravel roads and wood plank sidewalks.
The tour was free. Apparently, Robert Lincoln, the only son that made it to adulthood, gave the Thad to the city that no one ever be charged for seeing the house. The National Park Service oversees it now.
