Washington Parent: President Lincoln’s Cottage – A Place for Reflection
A Brief Background
In 1862, after his first year of presidency, President Abraham Lincoln and his family moved to a serene cottage surrounded by lush trees and wooded areas roughly three miles from the White House. From the outside, one could assume the stay was meant to be a pleasure retreat, though historical accounts reveal more complex issues.

In 2000, President Bill Clinton declared the Cottage a National Monument and the National Trust for Historic Preservation began an 8-year restoration project to bring it back to life.

Staff Spotlight: Favorite Cottage Related Books
Attending school for approximately one year in his entire life, the 16th president’s lack of formal education was more than made up for by his unflinching desire to read as many books as possible. Although those of us who work at the Cottage might not be as voracious at reading as President Lincoln, we certainly appreciate the power of the written word and the knowledge contained within books.
In that spirit, the staff at President Lincoln’s Cottage shares with you their favorite books related to the Cottage, Lincoln, and the Civil War era.

Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz, 1998
Horwitz’s book provides a glimpse into a way that different parts of the Civil War live on in a contemporary setting, as well as a conversation around how a country can move forward while fairly acknowledging its painful past. I also think its descriptions of the extent to which re-enactors will go to maintain authenticity are beyond fascinating!
Jamie Cooper, Museum Store Coordinator
Lincoln and the Indians by David Allen Nichols, 1978
This is my favorite book because it focuses on individuals, even
