This home is also a museum. I was so glad that they were open last week while we were in Lexington and not shut down because of covid! The two historians working there provided a lit of extra information about the home and the items in it, as well as insider information about Mary Todd Lincoln and her family. The home is incredibly well restored, and the garden/courtyard in the back was beautiful. Many of the items in the home belonged to the family, and all of the items were period-accurate. There's also a small gift shop in a room off the 2nd floor balcony that had books and a lot of cute little souvenirs for sale. It's definitely worth seeing! The historians would allow you to self-guide your tour, but would offer information about anything they noticed you stopped to look at, which I liked better than a guided tour where you get shuttled around on the tour guide's schedule. The historians were also willing to answer questions about the property, items in the house, as well as Mary Todd Lincoln and her family. We're so glad we went! There are only a couple of parking spots behind the house, but you can also park in the church parking lot directly across the alley from the house.
