"I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington." Abraham Lincoln left his home of seventeen years to serve as president of a nation on the verge of Civil War. The Lincoln home, located in Springfield, IL, has been restored to its 1860 appearance, revealing Lincoln as husband, father, and politician and is open to the public for guided tours.
