Review:

The Lincoln Home National Historic Site is the preserved former home of Abraham Lincoln, where he lived between 1844 to 1861 before becoming the 16th President of the United States. The historic home contains 12 rooms, and is the only one Lincoln ever owned. The site is open daily throughout the year, excluding certain holidays.

No admission fee is charged, but donations are gladly accepted. Visitors can only enter the home with a free ranger guided tour offered on a first-come first-served basis, and tickets for the tours can be obtained from the Visitor Center Information Desk.
