Lincoln Home National Historic Site
For Teachers
 

Throughout 2009, Lincoln Home National Historic Site will join the city of Springfield, the state of Illinois, and the nation in celebrating the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth. Special exhibits, ranger-led programs, and living history demonstrations will bring the Lincoln Home and its 4-block Neighborhood alive. During these programs park rangers and volunteers will tell stories about Abraham Lincoln, his family, and the community of Springfield.
