"President Lincoln’s Cottage is a historic site and museum located on a 250 acre campus in Northwest Washington, D.C. Here Abraham Lincoln made some of his most nation-changing decisions and developed the Emancipation Proclamation. Each day, we see how the significance of what happened here more than 150 years ago ignites courageous new ideas, encourages respectful dialogue, and promotes thoughtful compromise."

Join us for a guided tour of the historic house.

To get to the 2nd floor of the cottage, there are two flights of steps - one with 12 steps and one with 5 steps. There is an elevator and a wheelchair lift to reach the 2nd floor. (We know that the Lincoln's Cottage website says that the wheelchair lift is currently out of service. We have contacted Lincoln's Cottage and they expect that the wheelchair lift will be fixed before October 1st).
