Abraham Lincoln’s former 19th-century home in Springfield, Illinois, has been turned into a museum
It’s safe to say that, nowadays, presidents live comfortably, having access to more luxuries than the average citizen. In the U.S, the top executive branch member lives, eats, and sleeps in the White House, with its 132 rooms and 35 bathrooms. But it hasn’t always been this way.
This was Abraham Lincoln’s house. Built in 1839, it’s undoubtedly more modest than the president’s current home. The picture below was taken in 2021, and it allows us to see the simplicity of the building, which has been turned into a museum called the Lincoln Home National Historic Site and can be visited with a guided tour.
