Lincoln Home National Historic Site Tour (HD)

We were fortunate enough to visit the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln had a home there where he lived from 1844 to 1861, before he became president. It was surreal to be in the same house that President Lincoln resided in, and we really appreciated the historical significance of the site. In Lincoln's home we were able to see where he worked, slept, as well as Mary Lincoln's bedroom, guest rooms, kitchen, with some items/fixtures that were the same as in the 1800s.

The Visitor's Center had plenty of things to see as well. We also checked out Charles Arnold House and the Harriet Dean House.

This was from August 2016 during our Midwest vacation road trip. We also visited the Illinois State Capitol building nearby- you can see that video here:
