Lincoln home in Springfield closed after budget veto
The Lincoln home site and adjacent facilities in Illinois closed by the National Park Service after President Reagan vetoed a spending bill. About 300 to 400 visitors normally tour the site daily. The closure continues until further notice as Congress seeks a new funding plan for fiscal 1982.
