LINCOLN'S HOME

 HOME > SITE INDEX > LINCOLN'S HOME

The Lincolns moved into their home on South Eighth Street in Springfield in 1844. It was the only home Abraham Lincoln ever owned. The house, which has been restored to look as it did when the Lincolns lived there, was much nicer than the log homes in New Salem.
