Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site

The Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site, located in Springfield, Illinois, is a historic brick building constructed in 1841 that served as the law office for Abraham Lincoln and his partner William H. Herndon. This site is part of the Tinsley Block, which was built to accommodate professionals in the newly established state capital. Visitors can explore the restored office, which reflects its 1840s operations, and learn about Lincoln's legal career, including his time on the judicial circuit and his term in the U.S. House of Representatives. The site is managed by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and offers a glimpse into the early legal practices of one of America's most iconic presidents.
