Built in 1857, the Randolph House Hotel was opened by William H. Randolph with an elegance unknown at the time. Abraham Lincoln was a guest there on two occasions, August 25th and October 25th, 1858, both during his senatorial campaign against Stephen Douglas. After Lincoln's assassination, the room where he stayed became a local shrine for the grieving community.
