“I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington." Abraham Lincoln left his home of seventeen years to serve as president of a nation on the verge of Civil War. He left town from the city train station and returned on the funeral train to the same station.

Located just 3 blocks to the east of the house.
