Springfield Facts
Springfield, the capital of Illinois,
is a wonderful blend of big-city amenities and small-town
charm. For some, it is a city of undiscovered treasures.
From the quaint, Quaker-brown residence Abraham Lincoln
lived in for 17 years to the new $115 million Abraham
Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum rising on the
downtown skyline, Springfield will surpass the expectations
of you and your attendees.
Springfield became the Illinois state capital in 1837
with the help of a young lawyer and politician named
Abraham Lincoln. He lived in the city until he left
to become the 16th President of the United States, in
1861. From that moment on, the city’s history
and future have been inexorably tied to this most famous
and beloved American citizen.
Springfield, the capital of Illinois and the seat of
Sangamon County government, is located at the intersection
of Interstates 55 and 72. Chicago lies 200 miles northeast
of Springfield, St. Louis and Indianapolis lie 100 miles
southwest and 195 miles due east, respectively.
