I
don't
know
why
this
place
is
rated
so
highly.
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
these
guys
use
the
$15
entry
fee
to
pay
for
bots
that
leave
positive
reviews.
The
Lincoln
cottage
is
on
the
same
land
as
a
veteran
home,
so
they
require
you
to
have
tickets
pre-purchased
online
to
gain
entry.
That
needs
to
be
stated
clearly
somewhere.
The
house
is
bare,
and
most
of
the
rooms
are
empty.
If
you
want
to
convince
me
that
Lincoln's
study
is
what
you
say,
you
could
at
least
afford
to
put
a
desk
and
a
few
bookshelves
in.
next
to
none
of
the
paint,
flooring,
or
little
furniture
there
is
in
the
home
is
original.
Most
of
the
tour
is
standing
in
bare
rooms
listening
to
little
audio
snippets
with
poor
voice
acting.
I
know
these
guys
don't
have
the
government
or
national
park
service
funding
behind
them,
but
neither
does
mount
Vernon
or
Monticello,
and
their
tours
and
houses
are
1000x
better
and
furnished
to
match
the
period.
They
spend
little
time
discussing
the
Lincolns
or
what
they
did
in
the
home
and
instead
cover
people's
minor
interactions
with
the
Lincolns.
As
interesting
as
it
was
to
know
about
a
soldier
being
excited
to
finish
President
Lincoln's
breakfast
or
a
British
citizen
being
so
eager
to
meet
Lincoln
that
he
stalked
him
to
his
home
late
at
night
to
meet
him,
that
is
not
what
I
wanted
to
know.
I
was
hoping
this
tour
would
give
me
more
insight
into
what
the
Lincolns
did
there
and
more
about
President
Lincoln
writing
the
emancipation
proclamation,
and
I
was
sorely
disappointed.
This
place
is
way
out
of
the
way,
so
if
you
are
visiting,
skip
it
and
stay
in
D.C.
or
do
Mount
Vernon
instead.
If
you
are
from
here,
It
is
still
out
of
the
way,
so
I
would
forget
it.
