This museum/historic home was a blast! The guides (Jacob, Mel, and Durbin) were super insightful and warm! I had a blast talking to them. While some of the home has been redone (see first floor floorings), the amount of beautiful Todd family heirlooms alone makes the tour worth it! I was pleasantly surprised the museum left some level of ambiguity as to why MLTs late life insanity trial was brought about. MLTs story was presented respectfully and accurately. There were many ways for kids to interact with the history at the home. Gift store with Will was charming and reasonably priced! 9/10 recommend!

First the parking is rather difficult. They have parking directly behind the house, you have to use an alley to get to. The day we went there was a rather large funeral occurring right next door making it a bit more daunting. You cannot have a huge vehicle or you might not fit. On that note there is a short introduction and then you are on your own. My family has made a point to learn and go to many Lincoln sites and since she was his wife this related. Even though she didn’t live there long they do a good job of helping you to understand a bit more about her. We learned how she had quite a bit of a tragic life after her husband died. A good stop if you have time.

I enjoyed the tour very much, the staff were very nice, all of the notes and photos were very informative. The house has restored beautifully.
