The guides were very informative, interesting and pleasant. The artifacts were disappointing. I expected more from MTL’s childhood, marriage life and life after President Lincoln.

I was a little disappointed in this tour. It was self guided and only had one fourth of the original artifacts as the rest were replicas of period pieces. Mrs. Lincoln did not live in the house very long. I felt that the price was too much for the tour.

Very interesting to see the house where Mary spent part of her childhood years. We weren't there on the day they did tours but there was a person downstairs and one upstairs to answer any questions as well as sheets describing various artifacts in the room. Both guides were quite helpful and willing to answer any questions. It is located in the old historic part of Lexington so it worth a walk around to see some of the other buildings in the area. There is a small parking lot in back and the entrance looks like an alley between the house and the church off West Main Street.
