I stayed in Springfield for one reason and one reason only: to have a horseshoe at D'Arcy's Pint. I was glad I did because there is so much history in Springfield that I hadn't even considered. It's a really cool town.

We went to the Lincoln Presidential Museum. Very nice! Well worth the 2.5-3 hours. Informative and plenty to see and do. Loved it. Nice downtown by the way. If we had more time, we would have explored more.
