It looks northern to me...Is it related to Abraham Lincoln in person? Has he been there? Or someone he was close to? Finally - it is not related to his assassination, is it?
Eva, the site is NOT in Illinois.
In answer to your questions and to give a couple of more clues:
The site is not related to his assassination.
Lincoln has visited this site. The visit is documented by primary source material.
The visit occurred between 1860 and 1865.
Is the site in New York?

Hmm....has he visited the site only, or more than once? Is the visit a well known event?
Is the site in New York?
Eva,
He visited the site only once to my knowledge. And I would say that it was a well-known event. No, the site is not in New York.

Was it during a train stop during his trip to Washington after being elected President?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 01-22-2024 03:21 AM
My question, too. But it looks like a private home to me, and I don't recall him making visits in private homes on that trip. So - is it a private place?

This is a good guess Steve but it is not correct.

Yes, Eva, it IS a private home. But when he went there, it was not for a expressly for a personal visit to the owner (though Lincoln did speak to the owners).

Is it Richmond?

Exceptional guess! However, still not correct. His visit to Richmond being an example, Lincoln took a few trips outside of Washington DC during the war. He visited this site on one of those trips. An additional clue: It was NOT on his trip to Gettysburg.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-22-2024 11:17 AM
How about his trip to the Sanitary Fair in Philadelphia?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 01-22-2024 11:23 AM
Gettysburg ?

Another good guess. But not correct.

Sorry Gene, not Gettysburg.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-22-2024 02:10 PM
How about this trip?

Roger, I can't get the link to work. But as I see in the full url there is a reference to a secret visit to West Point. That would not be the correct trip.
Another clue: Lincoln visited the site in question in 1862.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 01-22-2024 04:10 PM
Is it a building at Phillips-Andover Academy where Lincoln visited his son, Robert?

Sorry Joe, this is not correct. But another interesting attempt. Remember, the Lincoln "excursion" from Washington DC related to this site took place in 1862.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 01-22-2024 09:32 PM
How about Frederick, Maryland when he visited there on October 4, 1862 after the battle of Antietam?
Best
