Capitol building where Lincoln wrote his house divided speech.

"To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man."
- from Lincoln's Farewell Address to the city of Springfield.

[Abraham Lincoln's home in Springfield, IL]

The home where Lincoln lived in Springfield, IL.

While in the city you can walk the same streets as our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. Since the opening in 2005 of the high tech, kid-friendly Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, street exhibits, statues, and buildings used by President Lincoln have become easily accessible through Lincoln Site city buses and a trolley. There's a week of history to touch and experience.

You can spend several hours walking through Lincoln Memorial Gardens on Lake Springfield (above), shop in the malls on the west side, or the boutiques surrounding Lincoln's courthouse and law office.

Enjoy the water park, or see a movie in one of 4 multi-plex theatres-be sure to experience the evening drive-in movie. Take a day and drive through the many distinctive areas of the city, New Salem National Park, and nearby Petersburg.
