About the CITY

Springfield, as the state capital, has a well- developed economic base.  It is the headquarters for several nationally known insurance companies as well as 125 other state, regional & national associations.  The community is recognized as a leader in the fields of health care services and education.  Products that are produced in Springfield include: metal fabricators, livestock & poultry feed, space age electronics, flour, cereal, soybeans and corn.

Get your nostalgia fix by driving the historic Route 66, visiting Shea’s Route 66 Museum, catching a double feature at the Twin Drive In, eating a horseshoe or a cozy dog.  Both the horseshoe and the cozy dog were created here in Springfield.  The horseshoe, considered a signature dish of Springfield, IL, was developed by Chef Schweska and his wife, Elizabeth, when the Chef was looking for additional sandwich items to put on the Leland Hotel’s menu in the late 1920’s, an open-faced sandwich with meat, rarebit cheese sauce topped with potato wedges seemed to fit the bill.  The cozy dog, a hot dog on a stick covered in crispy breading, is found nationwide in many county and state fairs but was officially launched at Lake Springfield Beach House on June 16, 1946 and introduced at the Illinois State Fair the same year.

Springfield, Illinois is home to Oak Ridge Cemetery which features the Korean War State Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial and Lincoln’s Tomb.  From there, it’s a short drive to the Abraham Lincoln Museum or Home, the Illinois State Museum or any of the many locally owned restaurants.  If you have the time, a trip to New Salem State Park or Historic Clayville is something everyone will enjoy!  As Mr. Lincoln’s hometown, we host visitors from all over the globe, as everyone wants to know more about one of the most beloved historic figures in the world.
