Mary Todd Lincoln House

This elegantly proportioned brick home was built in the late Georgian style at the turn of the 19th century. Initially an inn, it was sold in 1831 to Robert Todd, Mary's father and a prominent Lexington businessman, and he, with his second wife and children, moved to the 14-room structure in 1832. Mary lived there until 1839, when she joined her sister in Springfield, Illinois, and eventually met and married Abraham Lincoln. Restored in the 1970s, the historic home now appears as it did when the Todds inhabited it. It also features period furnishings and gardens and many of the family's personal possessions.
