Who lived here?

Abraham Lincoln

[RJNorton]

Very good, Mike! It's the cottage at 214 South Fourth Street in Springfield where the Lincolns lived for a short time when Robert was a baby. The family rented the cottage in the fall of 1843 and stayed there until May 1844 when they moved into the home at Eighth and Jackson. The rent for the cottage was $100 a year.

YES!!!! Great job! Starkville, on the campus of MSU, alongside the Frank and Virginia collection of Lincoln memorabilia (which I think was the largest private collection in the world at one time) It's an outstanding dual collection and I am so grateful that the deep South has this to enjoy.

A person frequently mentioned on this forum slept in this bed. Who was it?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Mary Lincoln when she was in Bellevue.

[RJNorton]

Excellent, Eva. Yes, this is Mary Lincoln's bed. It was in her room when she was at Bellevue Place in 1875. Nowadays it's at the Depot Museum in Batavia, Illinois.
