Springfield is the state capital of Illinois. Downtown, the interior of Illinois State Capitol’s large dome is decorated with stained glass and statues of historical figures. The 1904 Dana-Thomas House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum traces the life of the 16th U.S. president. Lincoln’s restored home is nearby.

As the largest city in central Illinois, with a population of 117,000, Springfield is best known for being the home of the 16th President Abraham Lincoln and the place where President Barack Obama spent his early career in politics. Abraham Lincoln came of age while living and working as a private citizen in Springfield, Illinois. It was here that he chose to settle down, build a life for himself and his family, and worked hard to achieve success.
