Lincoln Home Tour - Sitting Room
The sitting room is similar to a modern family room, a place where the
family held informal receptions and where they relaxed. Here the parents held several parties for
Willie and Tad including one for which they invited fifty children. This is also where the family
dog - Fido - and the Lincolns' numerous cats spent time. When Lincoln spent time here though,
he was more likely to spend it on the floor, since most of the furniture was not comfortable for
his six-foot-four-inch frame.
