Lincoln Depot

Well it's fitting that this depot now be the offices of a law firm, considering that Lincoln was a lawyer. Nice little area on the first floor for photos and an informative video.

We stopped in here on a Saturday so it wasn’t open to the public; however, it was still interesting to read about and look around outside. Definitely stop by here if you are in town to learn all about Lincoln. A great piece of history happened here.

We happened on this place as a result of the tourist maps given at the visitors center to the kids. It wasn’t supposed to open until 4/1 for the season but they let us in early anyway as it was March when we went. So go after 4/1! It was really cool. You can stand there and envision Lincoln giving his address as you read the plaque. It’s an essential visit in Springfield if you are doing all of the Lincoln sites!

Small and free piece of history that shares space with a law office (upstairs). Self guided. Takes no more than 15 minutes. Grab a pamphlet of Lincoln's speech he made at this place before leaving for Washington DC. It's a moving speech. Depot is a 5 minute walk from the Lincoln home National historic site.

Nice to see law firm has restored and is maintaining the building. A portion of the original steps was interesting. It was great having Abraham Lincoln interpreter give farewell address when he headed to Washington DC in 1861.

It's small but easy to get to and tour inside at your own pace

This is the place Lincoln departed from as he headed to take his appointment as President. It's a humble museum worth visiting. It smells really nice. You will get to see what a train station looked like back in the day and a cool safe which survived two fires.

Most people might pass this little building and not stop in. Please do so as it is filled with artifacts and a continuous loop movie on Lincoln leaving Springfield. Fascinating!

This was closed on the weekend so we didn't get to go inside but still a neat piece of history to walk around. We also squished, none other than, Lincoln pennies on the railroad track as souvenirs to take home.

Short exhibit wish it wasn't so small but it was very informative

Awesome job by the Noll Law Firm preserving this historic place and making it freely accessible to the public.

Part of Lincoln Memorial Museum ticket fee and exact replica of what it was in his day.

Interesting location Lincoln Depot and historical story, will come back again to visit.

Great spot in Springfield Illinois and great quality and excellent customer service

It's about history, and a National Landmark.
