“I finally had some time to run in on my lunch break and I am so glad I did! What an absolutely wonderful treasure this place is! I found gifts for my mom, my sister, and my soon to be 3-year-old. The service was exceptional, and I felt like all of my questions were answered thoroughly. They have such a unique selection, and I could spend hours looking at everything! There is something for everyone here and if you haven't stopped in, I encourage you to go take a look. I know I will definitely be back! Thank you for helping me pick out such sweet gifts for everyone on my list!”
“I happened to walk by the store to get a Route 66 T shirt. I got my nice shirt and even more. The owners were so nice and generous. I told them that I teach kids with special needs and they went out of their way to generously donate post cards about Lincoln to explain to the kids. Thank you so much!”
“Specialty clock service & repair. Had our cuckoo clock (original frm Germany) refurbished after a decade of not working. Excellent work & worth the price & wait. If you're looking for an unusual clock, might be worth a look-in.”

426 S 7th St, Springfield“Husband, father, lawyer, US Representative, President of the United States. So interesting to visit the only home that President Abraham Lincoln ever owned. The home was bought by Lincoln and his wife in 1844. As he became more successful reflecting the American Dream that he embodied, he expanded his family and his home. Three of his four sons were born in this home. One died here. As he became more affluent, he was able to add a second story to the home. He also renovated the kitchen in anticipation of moving back to Springfield after the end of his presidency. His assassination ended the dream for a hometown retirement. Today, tours explore the home and lives of Abraham Lincoln and his young family. A NPS Ranger guides small groups through the formal parlor, the sitting room, the dining room, bedrooms and the kitchen. Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln had separate bedrooms which was fashionable and a sign of success achieved. Surprised at how small Lincoln's desk in the corner of his bed was considering his height of 6'4". After Lincoln's assassination, the home was rented to tenants who often charged fees to visit the home. They also left the home in disrepair. In 1887, Lincoln's only surviving son, Robert Todd Lincoln, donated the family home to the state of Illinois with the stipulation that it be open and free for all to visit and that it be well maintained. It was restored to its 1860 appearance when the Lincoln's left to go to the White House. Time tour tickets are available on a first come, first served basis at the Ranger Station. Tickets are free. Such an interesting and sad part of our nation's history.”
