Abe Lincoln's son's house

This is Abe Lincoln's sons house a.k.a. Robert Lincolns house that is located in Manchester, Vermont.

And one note I will add is this: When you get to the part when that one guy is talking to the camera, you may need to turn up your volume on your computer to hear him say "and I have to mention that you can't film inside the Robert Lincoln family home"! So no there really is very little footageof inside the home fyi.

And the music that is playing is by the Foo Fighters! The first song that plays is Monkey Wrench, then Aurora.
This is my first video so if anyone knows how I can make my video clearer, let me know so I will re-up-load as soon as possible! Thank you all for watching!

Lovely home in beautiful, idyllic, Manchester Vt. What is with the music? You should be playing some chamber music or old Cat Stevens songs. C'mon.

I know, this was my very first video with my parents shiny new camcorder when I was like 14. Figures! I regret putting in the music I did and woulda went something acoustic at least, but you learn over time!

oh. Did he ever live there with his family?

[aSaltedChocolateBar]

I haven't been on in a while so I couldn't respond very fast! Anyway I don't think he did because he did die in Ford Theatre not long after the Civil War.

Beautiful Place and gardens. Has an observitory for star watching. There are many events held on the lower parcial of land. Trouble is it cost an arn and a leg to get into any. No child or seinor discounts Only for the rich I guess. Who owns the property now?

Robert Todd Lincoln started out as a lawyer, but later became an executive for the Pullman Company. He also served as Secretary of War and Ambassador to the Court of St. James in England. Not only did he earn a very good living for himself and his family, he also inherited his mother's sizeable estate when she died.

Robert Todd Lincoln was, for many years, an executive with the Pullman Company (railroad). He inherited a fortune from his mother, even though she believed she was poor she left a sizeable estate. As the only surviving Lincoln son, Robert got it all. He and his wife purchased Hildene when they were up in years and their children were grown. He died here in 1926. The last direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln died in 1985. He was the grandson of Robert Todd Lincoln.

I was here in April 08...every last member of the Lincoln family is gone now from the planet...kinda creepy.

Robert Lincoln definitely had a perfect vision...in perfect VT.
