Mrs. Lincoln’s life has come full circle as she returns to Springfield, Illinois to take up residence with her sister Elizabeth. She recalls the days of her girlhood in the genteel society of Lexington, Kentucky, her marriage to the gangly young lawyer, and eventually her rise to become the First Lady. Share in her excitement as she first sees the Executive Mansion. Share in her grief as she loses three of her sons and her beloved husband. Photo courtesy of Historical First Impressions
