As of October 1st, NONE of the buildings are open. Yet, you can still walk through the entire site, and get a good feeling of what life was like in 1860 Springfield. You can walk onto the grounds of the Lincoln house, but the Visitor's Center, and all of the buildings are closed. I'd still highly recommend visiting the site.
