B‌‌‌eing in this gorgeous historical landmark is an unforgettable experience. The Thomas Wallace House, is the mansion where President Abraham Lincoln chose to meet General Grant to confirm the end of the Civil War and to plan the peace in America! This home is among the most historically significant places in the nation. Guests from 25 states and 14 countries, wedding guests, and photo/ film pros note the HUGE newly designed bathrooms & bedrooms, stunning social spaces, and unique decor. The space Built in 1855, it’s enduring grandeur is at once impressive, inviting and warm. Listed as a “National Registry of Historic Places in America,” The 12-foot vaulting ceilings and windows in the home provide an open spaciousness and lightness throughout. (For centuries this has been the social gathering place in the region for a reason!). From our guests since 2023: “Spacious & beautiful historical home …perfect for our family of 5!” “ Communication with TWH team was excellent” “ Wonderful home, exactly as pictured. Definitely worth it. We will book again.” “This is our second stay at ‘The Lincoln Home’ and it’s even better than last year! Absolutely beautiful..incredible. The bathrooms are stunning and the house’s grand style allows a group both independent and group space. An absolute gem!” “The history of this place is amazing! The gorgeous restoration and original details took us back to the 1800s.” “ I recommend staying here if you want an extremely unique and inspiring stay in Petersburg!!” “Perfect for our intimate wedding!” ———— The rooms, are of another era, yet the beds, bathrooms and accommodations are new. ——————————— The site is often used for filming, wedding parties, and Smithsonian tours. On April 3, 1865 President Lincoln met here with General Grant for the last time. Petersburg had just fallen and they awaited news of the surrender of Richmond, while discussing future plans for a reunified America. While Thomas Wallace had been an ally of President Lincoln’s in Congress, his wife was cousin to Confederate Lieutenant- General Abrose Powell Hill who had been killed in battle the day before. Though stricken with grief, the family welcomed President Lincoln and provided for seating accommodations for him and General Grant near the front door, where they conferred for hours before the ultimate surrender of Richmond. This is where the peace began! Guest access 1- The home is a place for adults. Though children 10 years of age or older with close parental supervision may also stay and enjoy the home! 2-You will have access to first and second floors which are exceedingly spacious. 3- The basement and the second room of 4 rooms on the second floor are closed for your convenience. Our guests from all over the world are appreciative of the history, architecture, warmth, and rare experience a night at the "Lincoln Home" provides. Since last July 2019 we had guest from scores of different countries as well as more than 25 states whose dream experience included just being a guest at Thomas Wallace House. As for the home condition, it is extremely comfortable (especially the brand new beds, and spacious bathrooms). It is a historic home and one of the more significant sites in American history. It has a brand new design in 2022 from world class designer Layla Rad. Yet it is a classic 150 year-old-home, and not a modern motel/hotel. One can always find fault if this is the goal, so we ask that those with this disposition find a nice and easily found motel/hotel for their needs. On the other hand, those seeking a unique, uplifting and extraordinary stay in one of the most significant historical sites in America, have often found this to exceed their prior experiences elsewhere, Hope to see you soon. Other things to note 1- As the reviewers accurately state, this home in the ONLY one of its kind in the world, and it is "exceptionally large" as well. The spacious open rooms, four bedrooms, and three newly renovated private bathrooms will easily and comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. 2- The home has central air-conditioner plus 5 window units. It is very comfortable unless heat outside hits mid 90s or above, at which point the air-conditioner usually cools the entire home to about 78, and sleeping rooms to about 73. 3-We will ask for 1000$ deposit which will refund you 2 days after your checkout. 3-Holiday Special!! Book the best classic home throughout VA for Holiday and family gatherings now through January 15 - save 25%. One of a kind mansion: The Landmark site President Lincoln chose to meet Gen. Grant to decide the future of America.
