Rare Look at Abraham Lincoln's Outhouse at his Springfield Home

[@1CathyHendrix]

Thankful for indoor plumbing! Something most of us take for granted! This is a really nice home.

[@FreyzelProductions]

Me too haha. I will go back again when it’s open and show the inside also. Have a great weekend!

[@mr.g1758]

Went there in Sept '24. Very nice visit. Visited tomb and was eerie to think the man in that marble enclosure was who I'd read about growing up.

[@kittyformanrn9268]

My grandparents had an outhouse until about 1980.

[@marthareyes4024]

Fabulous. Enjoyed seeing that because I love history so much.

[@FreyzelProductions]

Me too. I’ve been there about a dozen times from childhood til now and never seen the back yard open so I had to 😁

[@lisablake5328]

It is very interesting to know that fact must have been a very fast bathroom run in the winter.

[@FreyzelProductions]

I would imagine so 😂. I sure couldn’t live that way!

[@rbsmith3365]

They use chamber pots in bedrooms which is smelly.

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

That's a big outhouse though!

[@jaengen]

Thank you. I always wanted to see where Lincoln crapped.

[@FreyzelProductions]

😂 I’m here to serve!

Where the idea for Lincoln Logs was born.

[@tonyadangerfield8640]

Know one live in them house? The Whole street is empty? Please don't forget too show us the inside okay Thank You for the video

[@FreyzelProductions]

I will return again when the house is open 😁. I don’t believe anyone lives on the street these days.

[@tonyadangerfield8640]

@@FreyzelProductions okay I didn't think so Myself I just wish that I could have been there to see too Something to see love what your doing keep up the Good Work 😁

I’ve been to Lincoln’s home in the very early 1980’s. That outhouse has been moved. When we’re there the crapper was in a different spot in the yard and it was a two holer.

The old honey pot ❤❤

[@funnythingswedoallthetime]

When my my mother married my stepfather, his place had a three seater outhouse. I guess it was a family affair.

[@patrickdonahue8384]

Who cares where Lincoln took a dump?😢

[@FreyzelProductions]

If people hadn’t asked, it wouldn’t be a video 😂

[@rbsmith3365]

That’s the very same backyard where crazy Mary was chasing Abe and whacking him with a broom. Some neighbors have witnessed and no one knows what’s the reason?

[@FreyzelProductions]

😂

[@tbec3011]

A three seater and not even gold plated like you know who's. 🤪

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

Joyce Meyers, right? lol

[@stevejarrettnc]

Actually, that’s an outhouse. The bathroom is inside where you bathe.

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

During the outhouse days, there usually did not have a 'bathroom', they filled the tub in the bedroom.

[@Matthew-x9d]

Oh shit! Is nothing sacred?

[@mistervacation23]

I think I might go there and take a metal detector to the backyard and see if I can find any artifacts

[@joenewingham1996]

Would be nice, but no metal detecting allowed. I hope they excavated the outhouse area for artifacts though. Now I am going to have to drive over and take another tour to find out.
