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

Toured the home during the day and appreciated the great sense of history that it provided. Took a walk at night in the area to appreciate the "gas light" & cobblestones that gave the old homes and the trees a special feeling of another era.

There are many guides throughout the house to answer your... More

This house is such a treat to see, again and again. Each time we go, we see and learn something new. The docents are all excellent. Would recommend it to anyone.
