That's great news!

Consider asking the park to keep a wait list as there are always cancellations and it would be nice to squeeze a few more people in who may want to come but don't know about any cancellations.

North Central Region Rally June 2016

Things to do and see in Springfield, ILL

1. Abe Lincoln's Presidential Library and Museum - downtown at 6th and Jefferson (this is fabulous but does cost)

2. Old State Capitol - in the square between 5th and 6th on the east/west and Adams and Washington on the north/south. (Lincoln delivered his house divided speech and Barack Obama announced his candidacy and his VP's choice here)

3. Lincoln's home and the surrounding area.....8th street off Capitol but go to the visitors center on 7th street south of Capitol. Free.

4. Oak Ridge Cemetary. This is where Lincoln is buried. You can view his orginal burial spot in the side of a hill as well as the shrine where he and is family rests. A statute out front offers you a rub of his nose which supposedly is good luck. This is north of North Grand on Monument (between 1st and 2nd street).

5. Dana Thomas House.....this is a tour of a Frank Lloyd Wright rennovated house. It is quite beautiful and especially at Christmas.

6. Trolley Tour of Springfield - Uptown on East Monroe

Here are some other things to do in Springfield, which are here but not a must.
Bill Shea's Route 66 Gas Station Museum - 2075 Peoria Road

Original Cozy Dog Cafe.....South Sixth (On the old Route 66 Mother Road)
Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices .... across from the Old State Capitol.

Executive Mansion....the governor's residence. It didn't get much use until recently the new governor supposedly stays there a few nights.

Washington Park Botanical Gardens and Thomas Rees Carillon (take bread to feed the ducks)

Illinois Korean War Monument

Henson Robinson Zoo

Lincoln Memorial Garden
Sangamon Antique Mall (Sangamon Ave just west of Dirksen Parkway)
Several Antique Malls and Craft Malls at Divernon Exit #82 on South I-55
