Kitchen & Bedroom

Interesting items on display in the various rooms of the Lincoln residence in Springfield are today's focus. The kitchen naturally centers around the stove mentioned in the previous post, an item that has been here for a century and a half. Even on a bright summer day it is easy to see the warmth and aroma that would have surrounded the stove and the kitchen all those years ago.

In another room, we see colorful carpeting in a bedroom. And those of us with indoor plumbing might not understand the pottery bowl under the bed, as we can get up and step to the bathroom when the need occurs. At a time when the facility was an outhouse, sleepers were provided with a handy alternative.
