Explore More Illinois, RAILS’ online cultural and recreational pass program for Illinois libraries, welcomes its newest attraction, David Davis Mansion State Historical Site in Bloomington, IL! The David Davis Mansion was the home of David Davis, the friend, mentor, and campaign manager for Abraham Lincoln, and his wife, Sarah. As President, Lincoln appointed Davis as United States Supreme Court Justice in 1862. The David Davis Mansion, also known as Clover Lawn, stands as an impressive reminder of the important role that Illinois played in America's history during the nineteenth century. The elegant Gilded Age home tells the story of the generation of men and women who created an orderly society out of a chaotic frontier world and then led the United States through the Civil War and the early years of Reconstruction.
The David Davis Mansion is offering 20% Off Gift Store Purchase. Explore More Illinois users can access and reserve passes from any of our attractions on their participating library’s website.
