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:

Tour of Lincoln Home National Historic Site (2006)
September 15th, 2006. Springfield, Illinois.
For 17 years, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, called this simple comfortable house at the corner of 8th and Jackson Streets home, from the time he purchased it in 1844 until he left Springfield in 1861 to face the ordeals of secession and civil war in Washington, DC. The only house he ever owned, it saw his transformation from a small town lawyer to a figure of national importance, and witnessed some of the most important events in his life prior to his inauguration as president.
Wow, this was over ten years ago. I was 14 years old, a freshman in high school. My mom filmed this footage with our then *new* camcorder.
Illinois: Abraham Lincoln Home
Lincoln Home National Historic Site preserves the home and a historic district where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1844 to 1861, before becoming the 16th President of the United States.
The presidential memorial includes the four blocks surrounding the home and a visitor center.
In 1837, Lincoln moved to Springfield from New Salem at the start of his law career. He met his wife, Mary Todd, at her sister's home in Springfield and married there in 1842.
The historic-site house, purchased by Lincoln and his wife in 1844, was the only home that Lincoln ever owned. Their children, four sons, were born there and one, Eddie, died there.
Located at the corner of Eighth and Jackson Streets, the house contains twelve rooms spread over two floors. During the time he lived here, Lincoln was elected to the House of Representatives in 1846, and elected President in 1860.
Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln donated the family home to the State of Illinois in 1887 under the condition that it would forever be well maintained and open to the public at no charge.
The home and adjacent district became a National Historic Site on August 18, 1971'
Along with the Lincoln Home, several other structures within the four-block area are also preserved. All the homes have been restored to their appearance during the time Lincoln lived in the neighborhood.
