We had a wonderful day visiting Mary Todd Lincoln House. We learned that there are family pieces of furniture in the home and the tour guide was very knowledgeable on the facts of the family. Recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in KY history and connection to Abraham Lincoln.

I just love the history. Enjoyed sharing it with my son. Liked I could go at my own pace, but I did miss the guide and the third floor. I’d seen that in a previous tour.

Young man docent was very informative and knowledgeable.
Very interesting tour! I did not realize that during the Civil War, part of Mary’s family had allegiance to the North and part to the South.
