Lincoln Family Church
The First Presbyterian Church in downtown Springfield
contains a pew the Lincoln family rented in a previous building which is no longer
standing. The Lincolns became associated with the congregation in
1850 after the death of their son Edward.
Abraham Lincoln never visited this church building, however, because it was
constructed after he died. Mary Lincoln belonged to the church and her
funeral was held here in 1882.
