Inside the courthouse there is a cabinet made by Thomas Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln (this I previously mentioned). But also there are items from Lincoln's Springfield home: a wall clock, mahogany chairs, and a swivel-top card table with brass paw feet. These are all in the court house. I'm am not familiar with the history of how Henry Ford got the Springfield home items.

I've been to the Henry Ford Museum a few times but never been to the Courthouse. One person mentioned it to me recently and I think I'm going to go there when I go to the museum in May or June. I'd love to see the furniture.
