It wasn't Lincoln Logs, but it was Lincoln's home. As a successful young lawyer and family man, Abraham Lincoln purchased his first home in Springfield, Illinois, in 1844. Around 1855 the single story home was enlarged to the two-story 3000 square foot home it is today. Many of the furnishings purchased and used by the Lincolns still remain.
