34 days in Springfield Itinerary

Springfield is the capital of Illinois, but its real significance is as the hometown of Abraham Lincoln.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Lincoln Memorial Garden and Edwards Place Historic Home. Venture out of the city with trips to Normal (Rader Family Farms & Ropp Jersey Cheese Farm), Hardy's Reindeer Ranch (in Rantoul) and Big Eli Ferris Wheel #17 (in Jacksonville). There's still lots to do: learn about all things military at Illinois State Military Museum, let little ones run wild at Washington Park, admire the striking features of Elijah Iles House, and don't miss a visit to Rees Memorial Carillon.
