Q&A
A: There isn’t a strict age limit for the self-guided tour! It’s suitable for all ages, although younger kids might need some help with the exhibit materials. Just a tip: it can be a great way to introduce history to kids, but make sure they can walk for about an hour since that’s the typical tour length.
A: The tour is mostly indoors in the house, but you’ll also be walking around downtown Lexington as part of the complimentary tour. I'd recommend wearing comfortable shoes since you’ll be on your feet for a bit. Dress in layers because the house can be a little chilly inside, even in summer!
A: Yes! You can reschedule your self-guided tour, but it's best to do it at least a day in advance. Just contact the Mary Todd Lincoln House, and they’ll help you find a new time that works. It’s super flexible, which is nice!

Thinking about getting the Mary Todd Lincoln House tour as a gift!
I’m considering giving my parents the self-guided tour tickets for the Mary Todd Lincoln House in Lexington. They love history, and I think it’d be a fun way for them to explore Mrs. Lincoln’s story. I saw it’s free, which is awesome! Has anyone done this tour? Any tips on making it extra special?
Just did the self-guided tour of Mary Todd Lincoln House!
I just completed the self-guided tour, and wow, it was really fascinating! The house is beautiful, and I learned so much about Mary Todd Lincoln that I didn’t know. The downtown walking tour added a nice touch too! I definitely recommend it for anyone into history or looking for a unique experience.
