Tips from locals
If you are looking for somewhere historical yet off the beaten path and walking distance, this is a good spot. It is where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation and you can sometimes get 2x1 tickets on Groupon.
This was Honest Abe’s summer home. President Lincoln’s Cottage reveals the distinctly domestic side of a historic presidency. Admission is $5 for kids.
Where President Lincoln lived part of the year during the Civil War. Very cool!
