Abraham Lincoln's Home in Springfield, Illinois

We stopped for a couple nights in Springfield, Illinois so that we could visit the home of Abraham Lincoln and finish out our tour of the places Mr. Lincoln lived. This is a wonderful historical site that preserves not only Mr. Lincoln's home but the neighborhood he once lived, showing what middle class America was like in the 1860's.

Hi Adam whattaya know, I live just blocks from Lincolns home-!! FYI a few years back they did a big restoration on Lincolns home, it was found the indoor plaster was falling away from the wood lathe strips, so to save the original plaster the actually removed ALL the exterior wood siding so they could access, re-key and re-anchor the plaster by plastering it in place from the back side - then they restored all the original exterior wood siding boards and insulated the walls before re-applying and repainting the outside in its original colors. Ive been through both Lincolns tomb and his house on multiple occassions over the years with other people. Wish I could have met you guys while you were here, watch your vids all the time. Theres also the Abraham Lincoln presidential museum and the Abraham Lincoln / Herndon law offices up town you can visit where he worked as a lawyer with his boys running amock at the same time.

Indiana has a Lincoln national park there’s several different things to check out around there too worth the stop if you guys get around southern Indiana again there’s also marengo cave that you can check out very cool thanks for sharing buddy They definitely built things to last back then I’m sure they restored a lot of the house but not many houses are even left from that time

[@stepanrebik6776]

very interesting thank you

[@santasandbearsjohnson4952]

Lincoln also lived in southern Indiana. There is a log cabin and the farm that he was raised on. There is a National Museum there too. It is close to Holiday World and Lincoln State Park at Lincoln City, Indiana. We enjoy your channel!

[@timothystevenhoward]

Thanks for showing this. I have lived here in Springfield almost my entire life and I take for granted it is still here. A true national treasure. New Salem is pretty interesting too, and should go when there are activities like the people dressed in period attire and when they do the plays at the theater. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is also really nice along with the restored Union Station Depot nextdoor.

Used to go to this house several times as a kid. I'm from Southern Illinois, so we always made several trips to Springfield for various things for either school or Boy Scouts, and family trips. Had some family friends that lived in Springfield so we'd go visit then every so often.

[@1stEarlOfSurrey]

Terrific the entire neighbourhood is preserved, really adds context. Love the cicadas and shady trees, too.

[@SauerPatchGardening]

This is my hometown. I love this area and go here often. The entire area is very peaceful to me. I'm glad you came.

[@auburnfolsom]

Thanks for the tour Adam & Abby. I've driven through Springfield many, many times over the last 32 years & never stopped to see it. One less thing on my bucket list now.

[@terridavisford2160]

Lincoln is the son of my 3rd Great Grandfather. My Ancestery test revealed A TON

[@jamiecosgrove1950]

i remember visiting here in the 60's as a teenager. we all sat on the three holes of the outhouse., a daddy, mommy and kid size hole. there wasn't a chain by the door then. we joked about leaving a "lincoln log". that outhouse, in my mind was the highlight of the tour. we also visited greenfield village, in detroit, which housed the chair lincoln got shot in, and the gun.oh, and also kennedy's death car.

[@MasterMine-Shorts]

I hope you visited the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield too! Its second to none! Designed by Disney Imagineers!

[@karllaun2427]

Welcome to my neck of the woods. Those historic places mentioned in the comments are great places to visit.

[@natalieyoutsey3421]

Thank you so much for this video. I love Abe but a few years ago I became disabled and have to use a wheelchair so my hope for visiting this place is not an option for me anymore so I was happy to visit this with you guys. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@erikhill9688]

Adam the next time you're through the Springfield area and you want to check out more Lincoln history you definitely need to check out Lincoln's New Salem Village. There is a ton of historical places that aren't necessarily on any maps, just hit me up I can get you a list of places. Most are within an hour of Springfield and definitely worth checking out.

[@andrephillips3448]

Thank You.

Love it! Adam, I met you in Ohio at one of the early open houses at NYC CNC / Saunder's Machine Works. As a "clue", my name is the first name of your Noga rep. at the time. anyways... As a "Yankee" I just highly value your trips in the Midwest and North. TBH, I dont watch ALL of your adventures content... but, I will say all your followers in those areas 100% watch them.. Yes, in the eastern Midwest isn't as "pretty" as the rock formations in the SW. we just have trees and unique culture... but, your followers just like confirmation their regions matter... hey, God bless and I hope you have a successful "Long Haul"

The one thing I remember from visiting there was the three hole outhouse. Imagine the memories formed in that room. :)

[@zakksrage]

Lots of glory hole action. Word is Lincoln was quite frisky and got all the boys an ladies with his nice hats

[@dunigan4225]

Thank you good video.

[@troywee4774]

cool!

[@PepperCJ]

Thanks for another fun and interesting episode! We loved our tour of Lincoln’s home. The museum is amazing as well. Heading north? Check out the John Deere historic site near Dixon IL. Tells the amazing story of his struggles as a failing blacksmith (due to debt from from his shops burning down in Vermont) to his success after moving out “west” to Illinois! He never knew what a tractor was or would be. Just invented the singing plow! Dixon is also has the boyhood home of Ronald Reagan. All politics aside. His story growing up is quite incredible coming from very humble beginnings like so many presidents. Hello from your Southern Illinois friends from Indian Pass. (We will not even tell you what site we booked for our next trip there. Yeah. That one!!). Loved your trip to the Arch in STL. We were engaged there back in the 1800’s. We live 19 miles south of there in Southern Illinois. Safe travels!!

[@savedbygrace463]

Yes, it's very beautiful and he's quite interesting. Hope y'all went to Darcy's Pint to eat. Here in central Illinois we're known for horseshoes and they are soooo good!

[@cooperdog8371]

Gave you a 👍 before I even watched your video. Hello from Springfield, MO-John

[@Phantom0309]

Interior of those homes look very much like homes of Elderly people here in the UK.

[@cathnu2]

Cool! I live here and been through the house but not any of the others in the neighborhood. Also of note when you walked out the back door you had a shot of the tallest building in Springfield. Originally called the Forum 30. Was a Hilton recently and I can't recall who owns it now. Maybe Windham? Anyway it after it was built it has been affectionately called the "Penis of the Prairie" to us locals.

[@charleshocqii4301]

I’ve lived in Springfield 26 years never heard anyone call in the penis of the prairie maybe between you and your friends but it’s definitely not a local saying everyone just calls it the biggest building in town

The other place I like to visit when Springfield is Salem Village. The Library it a great too. They did a great job on that . I am from Illinois

[@KeithGrowden]

We love your video's and always look forward to the next one. Just watched this one and that was a ripper fart near the end. hehehe.

[@adamzurschmiede8759]

Go visit Lincoln State Park in southern Indiana. They have a nice campground and it is where Lincoln lived after moving from Kentucky when he was a child.

[@boba9253]

Adding to visiting New Salem, which is where Lincoln lived his young adult life (located about 20 miles northwest of Springfield), you should also visit the Old State Capitol where Lincoln served and gave the famous "house divided" speech. Plus Lincoln is buried in Springfield, and the tomb is located in the far north part of the city. All of those sites are run by the State, and are free to the public.

[@hollyboost7827]

Love all Lincoln sites. He is my 1st cousin 5 times removed. Lucy Shipley Hanks, is grandmother on his mom's side is my 5th great grandmother. Unfortunately though you were lied to during your tour. The lincolns placed all belongings in storage in Chicago as they rented out the house while in DC. Ever heard of the great Chicago fire? All the possessions in storage burned up in the fire. All items in the house are accurate for the period but not the Lincolns.

[@dawnyoung2294]

Then you’re also related to Tom Hanks ! Awesome ! I’m related to Washington . Not Lincoln tho 😢

[@alcosteam]

Since you are close and seem to like railroad museums, check out the Monticello Railway museum in Monticello IL,, their railroad days is the following weekend. If you decide to go to MRM message me and I will let them know you are coming. Also if you go a bit further north to Union IL the Illinois Railway museum is one of the largest in the world and really takes two days to walk thru and see most of it.

[@PocketWatchPanda]

Lincoln had a separate legalize office from the home. To keep in mind how likeable he was, I believe he specialized in debt collection.
