Each day more people from around the world discover the importance and modern relevance of President Lincoln’s Cottage. Due to various uses by the Armed Forces Retirement Home (formerly known as the Soldiers’ Home), the Cottage was not open to the public. Since 2000, when we began the project to restore and open the Cottage to the public,  the press has played a welcome and pivotal role in resurrecting President Lincoln’s Cottage in popular memory.

President Lincoln’s Cottage has benefited from diverse coverage from prominent media outlets in the United States and abroad, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, E! Entertainment News, The Huffington Post, the Associated Press, BBC, The Telegraph (Calcutta), ARD (Germany), PBS, CNN, C-SPAN, NPR, History, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, and Voice of America in multiple languages as well as local and special interest publications including Washingtonian, Popville blog, and more.
