Reviews
"Great historical stop. The tour guide was helpful and very knowledgeable of Lincoln’s life."
"Really interesting place to visit. Well appointed and the attendant was knowledgeable."
"This place was so great to see we actually got to walk where Abraham Lincoln walked. The information lady was so knowledgeable and friendly. It is a self-caught tour which is nice cause any can do your time. It’s a must see"
"Interesting stop if you have the time. Can walk through the building in less than 30 minutes if you read all of the information. Be sure to see the Madonna of the Trail on the corner of the building's lawn. There are 12 of these statues across the country."
"This place is a little piece of US history and a quirky one at that. It’s most famous for being the place Lincoln got his start in politics and the place he first publicly spoke against slavery. For those reasons alone it’s enough to stop by. The building had its own interesting story and the staff there are very friendly and can give you a lot of info about it. The surrounding gardens are lovely and so is the town."
