Lexington’s Mary Todd Lincoln House didn’t miss a day of tours after a man was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with trying to burn it down. Gwen Thompson is the director of the historic home on West Main Street. She said the house isn’t just a Lexington, or Kentucky, landmark.
“We are the childhood home of Mary Lincoln, who of course, was First Lady and the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. We are the first historic site restored for first lady. So that's very unique.”
