Lincoln Home National Historic Sight

Springfield, Illinois










It was notated on an Historical Marker that this angle of the Lincoln home is the most photographed angle.

Do you recognize it? I think the house always used to be white.






they may end up restoring the whole city!






























Himself and I stopped here, on our way to Kristy and Tony's. I had been to Springfield as a child with my folks but boy! has it ever changed!


I remember driving up to the Lincoln home and being able to park there. Right on the street. Now you park two or three blocks away and walk in.



And instead of just the Lincoln home, just one house, there are three or four blocks of historic, beautifully renovated homes. There's also a museum and probably much more to see than I could even begin to remember.


We were on a schedule and couldn't stay long but we walked around and looked.




I will need to go back some time . . .
