Springfield's Downtown Springfield neighborhood is known for its concert halls and museums, and entices visitors with attractions including Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and Old State Capitol.
Beneath the grand dome of the Illinois State Capitol, history comes alive in ways both profound and quirky. Follow Abraham Lincoln's footsteps through his restored home and the presidential museum that brings his story into vivid focus. After touring the Old State Capitol where Lincoln delivered his 'House Divided' speech, refuel with Springfield's culinary oddity - the 'horseshoe sandwich' piled with meat, fries and cheese sauce. Knights Action Park offers family-friendly thrills while the Henson Robinson Zoo provides close encounters with wildlife. Don't miss the Lincoln Tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery, where rubbing the nose on Abe's bronze bust has become something of a local tradition.
