Lincoln Home National Historic Site

Public Law 92-128 created the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Springfield, Illinois, in 1971. (85 Stat. 347). The Abraham Lincoln Home National Historic Site preserves and explains the home where he and his family lived from 1844 until 1861.

The Lincoln Home is one of 14 residences preserved at the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, which also includes the Lincoln Home. The Lincoln Home neighborhood was diversified, with residents from a wide range of vocations, as well as social and economic classes. The National Park Service aims to reproduce a vivid sense of the Lincoln family's interaction with their neighbors and the greater Springfield community via neighborhood preservation and interpretive programs, increasing visitors' experience at Lincoln Home National Historic Site.

Lincoln's residence became a significant political symbol as his popularity increased. Presidents and presidential contenders still make well-publicized visits to the White House. Exhibits, a park film, and guided tours of the Lincoln Home are among the tourist activities provided at Lincoln Home National Historic Site.
