Touring the Home of Abraham Lincoln plus his Old Neighborhood
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2024
- Welcome to Springfield, Illinois. Today, we will be walking around the old neighborhood of Abraham Lincoln and touring the home he shared with his family. The Lincoln's moved into this home in 1844 and lived here until leaving for Washington DC to assume the presidency. He never again returned to Springfield until his burial. Today, we will talk about Abraham Lincoln's life here, tour the home, walk around the neighborhood, and visit a neighboring home as well as the visitor center. Join me today as we step back in time and visit the home of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.

My great grandmother or great great grandmother met President Lincoln..when she was a little girl.He stopped by train..she shook his hand. ❤
Quite an honor I am sure
I came back saddened remembering the great US President, whose life was cut short.
The last honest politician😊
Nice well maintained home. One of the best President United States ever had
I am Australian and admire Abraham Lincoln as one of the truly outstanding heroes of human history. I visited Springfield several years ago and visited the home every day for a week or so. It was a privilege to visit his home. I also visited his nearby tomb and the remains of New Salem where he lived as a very young man. I was driven to New Salem in a spectacular act of kindness by an American woman. Someone looking for a business idea might consider running a van for tourists between Springfield and New Salem!
I went through the house as a child. My Uncle's middle name was Lincoln , as the president was my Grandmother s favorite.
I wish neighborhoods were still like that today. That would be lovely.
I agree. Most of the authentic, genuine natural history in America has been destroyed. It's nice to see some areas are preserved
Love it
The most amazing part of everything is that they had no air conditioning
And no modern indoor plumbing, no electric, no natural gas, et cetera.
I grew up on Lincoln Avenue in a small town in northern New Jersey right outside of New York City and I grew up loving Abraham Lincoln since I was two years old… I am so excited to see this video… I’m in my 60s and I thought I would never see Abraham Lincoln‘s home.. and now it’s come true🇺🇸❤️🤍💙😇🙏☮️✝️💜⭐️🌎
That's incredible 😊
Very nice
Lincoln Ave in Fair Lawn?
Just visited there with grandsons and went to his tomb as well
THE PRANAM THE❤😊
I think the home was lovely! President Lincoln did quite well considering that he was born in a log cabin! 😊❤
I live in a country,where the corrupted politicians have destroyed it for their benefits n wellbeing. I always admired n respected This brave n honest president Mr .Lincoln. This vedio made my dream true.Thank you somuch.
8:12....how cool to metal detect that yard/entire area! I can't imagine the random items that are buried...from coins, to small toys, to all kinds of other small things.
I believe the Archaeologist beat you to it.
LOVE IT
THANKYOU FOR SHARING ❤
First time i ever pictured in my mind Abraham Lincoln sitting in an out house.
Thanks for that tour I enjoyed watching 👍❤️
Lincoln’s home was completely renovated several years ago, but the original structure is still intact. So, most of what you see, such as the siding, walls, doors, and woodwork is indeed original.
I went to Springfield, Illinois last year in 2023 with my mom on Saturday July 8, 2023 and I visited President Abraham Lincoln’s House. 🇺🇸🏡😃
Just went this past weekend with my grandsons. Went to his tomb as well as to the village he lived in before moving to springfield.
This president never told a lie❤
Nothing better than historic homes nothing
Such a beautiful home, thakyou Lincoln a brave , kind hearted man.😊
Ironically he created the Secret Service yet they failed to protect him. This was awesome. Thanks! Like many I’m a great admirer of Lincoln.
The original role of the Secret Service was to deal with counterfeit money. It was after his death that they were tasked with protecting the president.
They failed to protect him because 1) Lincoln established it literally just a few hours before he was shot, 2) when they were established it was just to fight counterfeiting. The idea of the Secret Service protecting the President didn’t happen until 1901.
At the time, the Secret Service was primarily responsible for counterfeit currency and did not protect the president. He had bodyguards for that who obviously failed miserably!
I didn’t know that .thanks 😂😂😂😂
I just learned A.Lincolns son Roberts summer home is here in Machester, Vermont. Robert Lincoln also passed away there.
I am going to go see it this summer. Robert named his home Hildene.
I went to Springfield.
I saw linclon home.
I went inside too.
I loved it
Alot
I would like to go back some time.
This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
I am kin to Abraham Lincoln through my grandfather...❤❤❤
A relative of mine was a secretary / worker of Lincoln.
I’m kin to the guy that scooped out the out houses
And made sure the seat was warm in those cold winters
lol
Nah I’m just kidding around !
What a beautiful house.
Thank you for this! I always wanted to visit but never had the chance.
I literally live right next to the capital and downtown
R.I.P Mr Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865.
Wow that's way less time than I remember...
President Abraham Lincoln 🇺🇸
We live close by and never get tired of going there and spending the day! New Salem is really fun as well!
I tend to go every few years. Always worth the trip!
I found out my Potter relative helped found New Salem. He came from Massachusetts!
What a beautiful home, I love the drapes and the dark furniture. A. Lincoln is my favorite American President, a lot to see also about him at Gettysburg, PA. Thank you for sharing. 😊❤
This was awesome Thank you for sharing!!❤
It's still the same color too. It was over ten years when ever we went too
❤
When we last visited Lincoln’s home, it was a wonderful experience. My daughter uses a wheel chair & as soon as a park guide saw her he personally lead us to the back yard. The back porch lowered to ground level & we both got on & then it raised & we basically took the tour backwards & it was wonderful. We could not go upstairs but we saw everything on the first floor & did not feel like we missed anything. It was really great.
Very nice video thanks 4 sharing
I am so thrilled with this video. I will be 74 soon. I "met him" when I was 12, and have been awed by him ever since. In 1962 my parents and I visited the Fords Theatre, which had not been refurbished. It was a Lincoln Museum. Plain walls, wooden floors and exhibits. Thinking back, I think I felt closer to him there under those circumstances, than if I were to go back there today. My father went to purchase a small botebook so that i could take notes on the exhibits. I was 12.
From that point on, he's the human being I've reverred the most in spite of the fact, I recognize his many flaws. After leaving academia i began lecturing in various aspects of Lincoln annually in my local community. But sadly, I never made it to Springfield. My son and his family are vacationong in the West this week, but took a southern route in order to visit his tomb and sent me pix. They didnt take time to tour his home. I will be sending him a link to this site. Thanks so much.
EXCELLENT video! Very well done.
Thank you for sharing this is one way I get to see it
Yes.
It's so sad the best presidents and people get assinated. Lincoln was one of the GOAT and he's even carved into a mountain. What an amazing tribute to one of the greatest Americans. Very nice video.
Great tour! Really enjoyed seeing his home. So glad that folks can see it for free. They are taking such good care of it.
Thanks Cathy, it's great that the park service is taking care of it and allowing visitors to visit without a charge.
My parents brought me to see Lincoln's home in 1962. The area does appear to have changed. The Lincoln home was surrounded by old homes. The neighborhood was decaying due to age & lack of upkeep. I believe the backyard had a picket fence.
The sidewalk in front of the house was old concrete and much narrower than the current brick paver construction. The house color remains the same as I recall seeing.
I’d like to see it in its old decaying state , it gives it more character, makes it feel more authentic
Thanks.fr.showing..us..Lincoln.home.
Place.one.of.the.honest.presedent.
Unforgetable.memory.in.my.life👑💥👑👑👑👑
When I was a kid of 10 years old, 65 years ago there was a canopy bed in one of the bedrooms. I fell in love with it! 2 years ago when I visited again there was No Canopy bed! I asked the tour guide about that and I was told they switched furniture out to suite the house. A lot of the furniture DID NOT belong to the Lincolns’ !! I was so disappointed.
Trash was usually thrown in a pit in the backyard and buried. That is more than likely how and why those were found in the back yard.
I live in Springfield. I ride a bike to and from work every day through this area. The homes are beautiful and the park Rangers do an amazing job.
I loved seeing the Lincoln Home…I’ve always wanted to see it. Thank you.
The streets are not paved 😮
It is sad he didn’t go back even to visit.
Thank you, much appreciated.
I Love American history and as a child an adult I have been and still fascinated with A Lincoln. I got to visit his home n his law office n the Lincoln Library. I also went to Washington n visited Fords theater where he was assassinated😢
Loved watching this.
Really liked seeing the photographs of them.
Thanks for sharing with us all.
Stay safe in this storm, tornados heading to the midwest tonight and tomorrow.
Thanks Martha. I appreciate it!
Beautiful house,I love usa
Memories....I've been in this nostalgic house many years ago touring.😊
It's extremely cool in this place too. I would love to go take another tour TOO
Back in the 1960's before the National Park Service had the home there was a porch swing on the back porch that you could sit in. The kitchen had a baked loaf of bread like it just came out of the oven. It seems like the boys bedroom and hired help bedroom upstairs were closed off. Did they mention the optical illusion of how the chairs looked to have short legs because of the tall ceilings?
Ive been there. Peer through the windows and it felt so nostalgic.
Thank you.
The out house was funny. A little hole for the kids is included!
Very interesting .. thsnk u
I was there a tiny bit over 60 years ago.
It looks smaller…But,mWow, it’s so well kept and presented…
I was born in Chicago but now I'm in Bolingbrook Illinois cool video.
Great to come across this video. Abraham Lincoln has been one President in the United States I so admires. Thanks for sharing his home which brings me back to history! History has always been my favorite subject!
Mine too. There are quite a few presidential sites on the channel and more to come! 😀
It is the same neighborhood he left. They preserved the neighborhood.
Nothing like sitting on the “open hole” of an outside potty! During the winter it will definitely wake you up with that cold air blowing on your rump… 😂
I would like to have seen the kitchen. Great tour!
Nice tour. Thank you.
The little white house in FDR state park is a good place to check out if you are ever in Georgia I would recommend it
Agree, it's a beautiful place.
Thank you somuch for sharing this.watching this fm Srilanka.
I love this! Thank you! I want to visit our founding fathers homes
I hope you visited Lincoln's New Salem in Petersburg, IL; it isn't too much further away.
I remember my visit there. Loved it!! I like how they kept the neighborhood like it was, except, yes, I did look down one of the streets and saw a gas station. at the very end! I just imagined Willie and Tad walking down there to get some candy!! HAHA You just have to go if you are there!!
Lincoln is turning in his grave, and his great beloved country is rapidly declining.
Thanks to those Americans that support trump
Beautiful homes. My ancestor was William Herndon, who was his last law partner. Pretty interesting to see how it was then. The tour guide sounds like my late grandma, don't get to hear that accent much in Texas :).
Nice views of the neighborhood.
Thank you so much for this
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you ❤
0:10 It's very similar to the bronties sisters ,world famous female authors house at Brontie parsonage at Haworth village in west Yorkshire that dates back to 1820 the house is from Edwardian and Victorian period in History,it's a very beautiful gorgeous house 🏡😍 I really enjoyed your video many Thanks Rodney from w Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧😁
Thanks Rodney. I appreciate it 😀
Chuck Higgins took me and my youngest son here's TOO
Loved this video, thank you!
Wow nice museum.
Thx for sharing your video iv met the closed Lincoln family living had lunch with them very good hard working people I do not say where they live not even the state good people
When I was in school we took a field trip there.
First time subscriber, wonderful video, now I will have to put this visit on my bucket list. Thank you so much, greatly appreciated.
Thank you and welcome 😀
When I was in the 8th grade in Arlington Heights, Il, our 8th grade trip was to to here and New Salem.
I was there back in 1970..
I grew up in Litchfield, Illinois, which is the half way point on I55 between Springfield, IL and St. Louis, Mo. I have been there many times. I am amazed each time I'm there. The out house is interesting. I asked the guide why the seats weren't just flat as most I had seen. He said it was because women had long dresses and had hoops. That way the dresses would fit over them and not interfere with their pretty dresses. I thought that was very interesting!
Also, the Kitchen was much larger originally, but Mary had wanted a separate dining area. So, she had half of the kitchen made into a dining area.
I love this. Thank you
Abraham Lincoln is my relative
That was an interesting tour
theres a picture somewhere of the neighborhood layout. there were many homes around him but the homes were torn down. one house they moved to the original position after it had been moved on the plot. theres stuff about renovation inside of it. most of the other homes are either for exhibits or administration, no one is living in it. as for the house....most of it is original since his surviving son thought to take good care of it after abe left and had passed. they obviously repainted and fixed stuff from age and added modern safety things they had to have.. the furniture isnt original since it was sold or given away later and it burned up in the chicago fire. i love going to springfield but its a drive from chicago lol. i like going to the town of salem where he was before and during becoming a lawyer. i also like going to the old capitol, train station, his old law office, and his tomb.
if you want another good place to go to, go to galena IL and you can see president grants house and town he grew up in. its also just a nice place to visit.
Galena is one of my favorite places! We toured Grant’s home, and I loved the horse hair covered furniture. I was happy to see the same style at the Lincoln home. The large couch(settee?) is gorgeous!
i would love to go. i will get there.
It’s worth the visit.
Would be cool experience to go thru Abraham Lincolns house
Visit Lincoln house video is very impressive, productive , beautiful,feel calm quiet,and good photography above all your words delivering is very clear to stand
17:36 the carpet in the floor in this room in the bedroom while historically correct as far as Seamwork is actually installed upside down you’re currently looking at the back of the carpet😂🤷♂️
I grew up knowing that hotel as the Sheridan or Raddison. I don’t know if it is still.
Thanks so much for sharing your video and great discussion.I really love the place.I'm a Filipino.I went to USA and visited historical places. More videos please😁💕
Really nice!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
michael is that you
thankyou for this excellent video! Your voice is easy to listen to and I enjoyed seeing the area around the home.
Thank you 😀
