This is Lincoln's Home, our first National Historic Site, 426 S. Seventh St., Springfield, IL Note in the picture that the streets are gravel and the curbs wooden 4x4.  This was one of the first times we used our iphone to move from one station or in this case one house to the next for an audio tour.  You can also do this in the comfort of your own home!!  At each house there is a story was what was going on with these neighbors when Lincoln lived here.  We didn't get to see the movie or spend as much time here as we would have like.  Hopefully, at some time in the future we will get to go back. The site consisted of about 2 city blocks and you can visit several of the houses that looked as they did with Lincoln lived here.  http://www.nps.gov/liho/index.htm 

Nearby, is the Lincoln Presidential Library which we were told is well worth seeing.  It would be another reason to return to Lincoln's Home!!
