As a lover of history, I so enjoyed touring this home. And, it is easy to feel that it was a home. The staff was so elegant in discussing this history of the house, the family and Abe Lincoln. I could just imagine being in this house on a quiet evening.
The information was also disseminated in a way I haven’t seen before. In each room, there were several laminated sheets, telling the significance of items in the room. When several people are in the room, they can get the information easily. And in addition, there is staff in the rooms, to answer questions.

NIce Tour. We started with a tour guide that gave some information and then let us tour on our own after that. The house is somewhat small but full of interesting stories especially considering the Confederate family of Mary Todd as she is married to the President of the US and leader of the Union military. Talk about family conflict! I'm a person who like to read everything and the tour took us around 1-1/2 hours. Parking was behind the house and only a few spaces. There was a funeral at the church next door which created some congestion in the already small area.

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.
