I can't believe that the tour guide did not mention the drafting of the Emancipation Proclamation that occurred there. That was one of the chief justifications for having the site declared a National Landmark and restored.

If she mentioned it she did it so briefly that I didn't get it. I cannot believe it either. She did tell though that this "was" Mr. Lincoln's desk (respectively a replica), the original one is in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House.
