The house was built in 1839 and Abraham Lincoln bought it in 1844. It was the only house he had ever owned.
The home has been restored to its 1860's appearance. It is located in a small historic neighborhood in Springfield.
Lincoln lived in the home with his wife, Mary, and their three sons, Robert, Willie, and Tad, for a total of 17 years. The fourth son Eddie was born here. Eddie died at his parents' home at the age of four.
