Mary Todd Lincoln House
Mary Todd Lincoln House, Presidential First Lady residence in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, United States.
The three-story Georgian house contains fourteen rooms filled with period furniture, portraits, and artifacts from the Todd and Lincoln families.
Built between 1803 and 1806 as an inn called The Sign of the Green Tree, Robert Smith Todd purchased the property for his family in 1832.
The museum displays reveal the complex journey of Mary Todd Lincoln from her early life in a wealthy Kentucky family to her role as First Lady.
The house museum offers self-guided tours with information placards throughout, and docents remain available to answer visitor questions about the exhibits.
This Georgian structure stands as the first historic site in the United States specifically restored to commemorate the life of a First Lady.
