Come visit Mary Todd Lincolns' teen home, the first site to be restored in honor of a First Lady.

The building that Mary Todd Lincoln lived in throughout her teen years was first built as an inn and tavern called "The Sign of the Green Tree." It was built between 1803 and 1806. Mary Todd's father, a politician and businessman, purchased the property in 1832 when Mary was 14. Mary attended two different schools in Lexington over a 9-year period and spent some time away at boarding school. She was considered one of the best-educated women of her generation.

Mary Todd moved to Springfield to live with her sister in 1839, where she met and married a lawyer named Abraham Lincoln in 1842. Abraham became the 16th President of the United States in 1861. The Lincoln's had four children. The Lincoln's would often stay with Mary Todd's family throughout their marriage and during the 4 years living in the White House.

The home is now a museum, and it is packed with history and even some original artifacts owned by the family. It has been beautifully restored with the original staircase. Imagine touching that staircase knowing that the entire family touched it in the past. The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. Tours last about an hour, and be sure to admire the beautiful garden during your visit.
