Mrs. Lincoln’s Favorite Things

  • Mary Todd Lincoln House 578 West Main Street Lexington, KY, 40507 United States (map)

Celebrate Mary’s 204th birthday in a light-hearted event inspired by her favorite things – from fashion and family to travel and poetry! During the self-guided experience, visitors can listen to period music by violinist Brice Farrar, play trivia games, compose poems, sample Mary-inspired sweets and more. As a special birthday tribute, thirteen portraits of Mary—most of which are not normally on exhibit—will be displayed throughout the house.

Doors open at 5:00 PM with the last entrance at 6:30 PM. Allow one hour for your visit. Recommended for ages 12 and up. The cost is $20 for the general public, $15 for members and kids ages 12-18, and $17 for adult groups (4+). Tickets may be purchased at the door or online here.

Free parking is located directly behind the museum with overflow parking at the Main Street Baptist Church. Metered parking is free after 5:00 PM.
