Kentucky: Mary Todd Lincoln’s house

 

Mary Todd Lincoln, born in 1818, lived in upper-class opulence in this grand house for 20 years until she moved to Illinois and married the attorney, Abraham Lincoln, who would one day become the 16th President of the United States. The two met in Springfield, Ilinois, where Mary was visiting an older sister. In 1942, Mary traded her life of privilege for that of a middle-class wife, and the rest, as they say, is history.
