Archeological Investigations at the Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Springfield, Illinois
The archeological work described here was conducted during the summer and fall of 1985. The Lincoln Home National Historic Site is located within a four-block area of downtown Springfield and preserves the home where Abraham Lincoln lived from 1844-1865 - a period in which he matured from a small country lawyer to a national political figure. The National Park is in the process of restoring the exteriors of several mid-19th century homes surrounding the Lincoln Home. A massive rehabilitation of the Lincoln Home itself -- adding new climate control systems and structurally stabilizing the house so that it can handle the hundreds of thousands of annual visitors -- is also presently being conducted. The archeological research described here was determined to be necessary by the National Park Service to assist them in their restoration plans.
