Abraham Lincoln’s Home, Springfield, Illinois – 1861 vs. 2021
Although they lived not long ago, it is difficult to imagine how various presidents from the United States’ past may have lived. Nowadays, the president resides in a big, ostentatious White House, but all previous leaders had a more frugal lifestyle.
This home was once considered a beautiful and pricey dwelling when it was constructed in 1839. However, compared to the way presidents now live, this property appears more modest and rural. This wonderful house is presently on display at the Lincoln Home National Historic Site.
