Springfield, Illinois was Abraham Lincoln's home for many years. The town has many sites that commemorate his time there, including his home, law offices, and the Capital building. Of particular note is the recently opened Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The ALPLM is one of the greatest history museums I have seen. It merges history, technology, education and entertainment seemelessly to create an experience unlike any other.

2008 marks the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's "House Divided" speech. While in Springfield, we visited the Elijah Isles House for dinner and then had a special event at the Old State Capital to commemorate the anniversary of that speech.
