T'ain't your father's cabin

The Lincoln Homestead NP in Springfield preserves the only home Abe and Mary ever owned as well as several city blocks surrounding it and restored to late 19th century condition. If you have seen some of the movies depicting their lives up to his election, you can easily imagine him rattling around the big house, 3100 square feet(!), playing with the boys, railing against Douglas, or trying to calm Mary down.
Definitely worth a visit. Marina's new favorite park.

Would be a very nice house even by today's standards. 

The sitting room where he accepted the nomination. 

Ubiquitous hat on the hall tree. 

Surprisingly small kitchen. 

Parade Wagon replica from which he gave speeches.
