President Lincoln's Cottage

We are all about history, decided to go to see the cottage and we loved it, not many people knows about this place, we recommend doing the tour is like 5 or 10 dollars, you ll learn lots of stories about Lincoln for sure and more

The Lincoln's Cottage was the perfect venue for our May 11 wedding. My husband was looking for a wedding in the country and I was looking for a wedding in the city, and the Cottage provided the perfect compromise. It was easy for our out of town guests to take the shuttle wee provided from the Viceroy Hotel and for our loved ones in town to Uber or park on site, and it felt like the Cottage was our own magical corner of the city that we met in and lived in. Everyone who works for the Cottage was lovely to work with, our guests were thrilled to explore the house during cocktail hour, and it was perfect to host the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all on the property. Despite the rain post-ceremony, the whole evening was magical (our gay wedding even had a rainbow!) and all of our vendors easily worked with the team at President Lincoln's Cottage. While our guests were bummed to end the party at 11 p.m., it was a quick and easy walk to the after party at Slash Run across the street and the celebrations continued. Would get married at the Cottage again in a heartbeat!

This is a wonderful "hidden gem" of American history. The cottage is a space to think about President Lincoln, his family and his presidency from a different perspective. The guides do a fantastic job of presenting a narrative while also providing room to think and reflect. This is a different space from many of the museums and monuments we are used to and is well worth a visit if you are in DC.

For an excursion you will need to pay $15 per adult, $8 per child if I’m correct, toddlers free. Excursion was fine, I wish to hear more from guide, but still she did a good job.

Love photographing weddings here! the staff is amazing, the grounds are really awesome to photograph, and there is so much history to consume when you're here. Hands down an awesome wedding venue!

President Lincoln's Cottage was the perfect backdrop to our September wedding. The staff -- Kyesse in particular-- were amazing to work with, ensuring that every detail was covered and went smoothly. We appreciated the docents at our wedding and loved to support a local museum and nonprofit. Thanks for making our day so wonderful!

Francisco was a great guide. Very informative and very pleasant. It was nice to be asked questions as if we were in President Lincoln’s shoes during the tour to help gain a more immersive experience. To piggy back off the other reviews, if you’re only passively into Lincoln, you may not enjoy the tour—however, I found it to be very interesting and it was a refreshing take on history. I would recommend!

We were fascinated by the history of Lincoln’s Cottage. Our guide was interesting and knowledgeable and he asked us thought provoking questions as well. He also very kindly helped me and my father with our mobility issues as we moved through the tour. Well worth the trip. Felt good to help support this organization as it preserves our history. Tickets were very reasonably priced and the grounds of the cottage were beautiful. Plan to spend plenty of time relaxing and exploring this beautiful place after the tour.
