Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The home of Abraham Lincoln. To me, as much a pilgrimage site as tourist attraction. Park Service employees and staff do an excellent job. Visted on the day local kids went back to school, so no long wait to get on a tour.

The park site was much larger than what we expected- the site spanned a street and there were a few properties you could enter in addition to the Lincoln house. There was a 20minute film in the park building which helped to see in advance of visiting the home.
We did not know reservations were required for the Lincoln home tour and reservations were first come first serve on the day of your visit at the park building. Park staff were accommodating to get us on the half hour tour of the Lincoln home which we enjoyed.
It is important to know you can’t just walk up to the Lincoln house and go in without a national park tour guide. It is a good idea to plan ahead in your day’s schedule for your visit and making the reservation.

You get to tour the home and neighborhood of President Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. They have daily events including a visit from the president and first lady. The home was donated by their eldest son, Robert under the condition they never charge a fee to visit the home.

It’s taking a step back into history and it is mesmerizing to see how people lived and worked back then. You do you feel as though you’re transported back to that time era and the architecture and woodwork is indescribable. The tour is well worth it as you divulge into the history of the family and their time living there.

We stopped at Lincoln Home NHS on a trip out west. We arrived early and made the mistake of not immediately getting house tour tickets. By about noon on Saturday there was a several hour wait. The visitor center and movie were great. We walked the town and went through the few other homes in the neighborhood that had exhibits. It’s a must see for history fans and fans President Lincoln.

This was my first visit to Lincoln’s house and i’m so glad i finally got to see it. It felt really special being in his home. Our tour guide was very informative and passionate about Lincoln. I thought the house was very cool. Even though it is free to go in the house you are required to have a ticket and be in a tour to go inside. Go see Abe’s house!

The house was very beautiful inside. It was incredible to walk through Abraham Lincolns house! They really worked hard to keep it the way it would have been they the Lincolns lived in it. My favorite part was the wallpaper in Marys room! It was gorgeous! The rest of the town and buildings were neat as well. There was a lot of information about what life was like during that time.

I have visited the only home that Abraham Lincoln ever owned, at 413 South 8th Street, at the corner of Jackson Street, in Springfield, Illinois, on four occasions. And I never have ceased to be in awe of the place. Imagine, Abraham Lincoln actually lived here. He sat in that chair. He ate dinner at that table. He took a bath in that tub. He slept in that bed. And, behind the house, he used that outside privy. The house, which contains 11 rooms over two floors and has been completed restored to its 1860 appearance, is where Lincoln lived from 1844 to 1861, before becoming the 16th president of the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. His home and the four blocks surrounding the home became a National Historic Site in 1971. The Greek Revival house doesn't impress like Jefferson's Monticello or Washington's Mount Vernon or Lee's Arlington House or Vanderbilt's Biltmore House. But, like Grant's house in Galena, Illinois, it is irresistible to visitors. On the first floor, there is a front parlor, a rear parlor, sitting room, dining room and kitchen. On the second floor, there is Lincoln's bedroom, his wife's bedroom, the boys' bedroom, the maid's bedroom, a guest bedroom and a trunk or storage room. Unfortunately, most of the Lincolns' original furnishings do not survive. A set of stereocards from 1865 were useful for historians to confirm some of the furniture's appearance and provided views of wallpaper, carpeting and drapery.

This is a very interesting and enjoyable tour of not only Abraham Lincoln's home with many of he and his family's original furnishing pieces but also a few other homes in his neighborhood. Very informative. I highly recommend seeing this!

Does anybody know if the building itself is open to public yet?
Skrevet 16. oktober 2020
As of October 1st, NONE of the buildings are open. Yet, you can still walk through the entire site, and get a good feeling of what life was like in 1860 Springfield. You can walk onto the grounds of the Lincoln house, but the Visitor's Center, and all of the buildings are closed. I'd still highly recommend visiting the site.

Are the grounds only open at Lincoln Home National Historic Site due to Covid 19?
Skrevet 14. mai 2020
Tours of the home are not available due to Covid-19 restrictions, but you can walk around and see the outside. The Visitors Center at the site is closed as well.
Skrevet 15. mai 2020
The tour is about thirty minutes. If you're a Lincoln scholar, it's superficial. That's a shame because the house is amazing. You almost expect the family to walk in the door. I understand much more about Lincoln after having toured the house.

Where is the visitor's center located? Is it in the Lincoln home?
Skrevet 11. september 2018
Hi, We are coming over from England, and staying at Springfeild two nights the 6th & 7th of August., I have read we need to book tickets for the Lincoln House at the visitors centre. Do you have there Web site Please ? Cheers arthur
Skrevet 2. juli 2018
I loved Springfield!! We basically just walked up to visitors center and got tickets FREE for the next tour. They do have you pay for parking which I think is about $2.
TripAdvisor will not let you post links or web address but you can search Springfield Lincoln home and find it.
Things not to miss
Be sure to visit the Lincoln library and museum. If you are a fan of the movie, right across the street from museum is union station and they have sets and costumes from the movie. You can buy the full experience ticket for $15. The museum is awesome. Don’t forget to see both of the movies. We got to take our pic with 2 different Lincoln impersonators at the house and the museum. Just a couple of miles from museum is the resting place of Lincoln at Oak Ridge Cemetery. It is beautiful. Go down behind the monument and there is the tomb of the first place he was laid to rest. Read up on what all happened after he died. Amazing tale of the journey his body took and how many times it has been moved. The cemetery grounds are beautiful too. Great War Memorial section as well. There is a Frank Lloyd Wright house right downtown too if you are a fan of architecture. $10. There is a big parking garage across from Union Station that we used and you can walk to a lot of the things to do around there. The house is in town, actually a whole block sectioned off to explore, but you will need to drive there. His law practice building you can go to. At the visitor center at the home you can find useful guides and maps. A GPS or Mapquest makes it easy to get around. Springfield has a high crime rate but we generally felt safe the whole time we were there. Group of girls too. I sure hope this helps and you enjoy your trip across the pond!!!

If we reach by noon, do you think we will get the passes. I hear that it's free but you need to get passes in person. Do they run out of passes during summer? Wanna make sure we get to see it.
Skrevet 9. juni 2018
Sorry, but I have no idea how busy they might be in summer. We were there in fall, on a weekend, and they were not busy at all. You might call ahead and ask the rangers how busy they expect to be on the day you are coming. If they have large bus groups scheduled that day then they can apprise you....
Skrevet 9. juni 2018
How much time should be alotted for this attraction?
Skrevet 20. april 2018
2-4 hours depending on how much ready you do. It can be done really fast if you just want to see it but like most Springfield attractions the workers are very knowledgeable and the more you show interest the more they share.
Skrevet 26. april 2018
PROBABLY NOT, BUT NORTH OF SPRINGFIELD THEY WOULD PROBABLY like New Salem..actually the old Log cabins interest all ages..Have never heard anyone not satisified there..Fun day..short drive..
