The Lincoln Home has been open to the public since 1887, and is a part of the National Park Service since 1972, but what was happening in the area around the Home one hundred years after Lincoln left? Were people grilling out next door? Were there businesses along 7th Street? And wait--is that a gas station on the corner???
