Historic Places & Fun Spaces
Category: Springfield Tourism in Illinois
Description of this Springfield Visitor Information entry: Located in Central Illinois, Springfield is the perfect weekend getaway. Five nationally known Abraham Lincoln historic sites are located here, with another just 20 miles NW. Lincoln Home, Lincoln Tomb, Old State Capitol, Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices, Great Western Depot and New Salem present Lincoln's life from a young man of 22 to President-elect at age 52. He arrived in New Salem with few skills and little direction in life. He left Springfield for the White House as a learned lawyer, skilled negotiator and experienced politician, ready to lead a divided nation. Visit Springfield & follow the journey of one of our nation's most-written about figures.
The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum (www.alplm.org) opened April 19, 2005, with hi-tech, interactive exhibits that turn the ordinary museum experience upside down.

This, and so much more, all happens within the walls of the Museum. When your Museum journey is complete, be sure to visit the actual Lincoln sites where many of the events in Abraham Lincoln’s life took place.
