Lincoln's Home

The only house that Abraham Lincoln ever owned is in Springfield, Illinois.  It sits just one block off of Route 66 in the downtown area.  Tours of the house are ran by the National Park Service.  So, if you decide to go, make sure you go to the Visitors Center first to obtain a free ticket for the tour.

The house is restored to the time when the Lincoln's resided there.  Many of the furniture pieces are the actual ones that the Lincoln's owned.  During the tour, the guide will tell you to use the handrails when going up and down stairs.  Afterall, you are touching the same rails that Abraham Lincoln touched.  The tour is not that long, but it is well worth visiting.
