We invite you to give yourself a "gift of history" by joining the David Davis Mansion Foundation. Your gift will help to preserve the unique legacy that David Davis (Lincoln's friend and campaign manager) left behind. It will also ensure that future visitors, both young and old, will have a chance to experience a remarkable moment in time-when Illinois stood at the crossroads of the nation's history.
