Lincoln Home National Historic Site
Fees & Reservations
 

Entrance Fee: Lincoln Home National Historic Site has no entrance fee.  A free tour ticket is needed to enter the Lincoln Home.

Free Tour Ticket:
  The only entry to the Lincoln Home is by a ranger guided tour. Obtain a free tour ticket at the Visitor Center Information Desk. Due to heavy visitation during the Lincoln Bicentennial year, visitors are encouraged to arrive as early as possible to receive tickets to tour the home. The last tour begins at 4:30. On busy days, tickets may run out prior to 4:30.

Parking Fee:  Parking is available in the visitor parking lot on a daily basis.  The charge, payable at a self-operated fee machine, is $2.00 per hour.

While there is no entrance fee, we do encourage all visitors to support the park through donations, which can be made in the Visitor Center and in the backyard of the Lincoln Home after your tour.
