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.
Q:
Are the grounds only open at Lincoln Home National Historic Site due to Covid 19?
A:
Tours of the home are not available due to Covid-19 restrictions, but you can walk around and see the outside. The Visitors Center at the site is closed as well.

A:
Yes NPS sites are normally open 365 with a few exceptions (some close for Christmas)

The tour is about thirty minutes. If you're a Lincoln scholar, it's superficial. That's a shame because the house is amazing. You almost expect the family to walk in the door. I understand much more about Lincoln after having toured the house.
Q:
Is there large R/V parking available here?
A:
No RV parking at the home, but the parking lot at the museum is only a block or two away and is large enough to accommodate an RV
