Springfield is the capital of Illinois and the city Abraham Lincoln called home for 24 years before he left for Washington. State government is the largest employer, and lobbyists, attorneys and agency officials travel here constantly, especially during the legislative session. Healthcare is the other pillar of the economy, anchored by two large hospital systems and the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, and the city is also a hub for insurance, education and the agricultural businesses of central Illinois.
Springfield sits roughly 200 miles from Chicago and about 100 miles from St. Louis, a long drive for a single meeting at the Capitol and a trip with limited airline options. Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport is only a few miles from downtown, so a private flight puts you at the Statehouse, a hospital board meeting or a client’s office within minutes of landing, with time to fly home the same day. Leisure visitors come for the Lincoln sites, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Dana-Thomas House, a stretch of historic Route 66 and the horseshoe sandwich, a local specialty.

Things to do in Springfield
When to go. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit Springfield, with mild weather for walking the Lincoln sites downtown. The Illinois State Fair fills the fairgrounds for about ten days in August, and the International Route 66 Mother Road Festival brings classic cars to downtown in late summer. Summers can be hot and humid, winters are cold, and hotels near the Capitol fill up when the legislature is in session.
