If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some suggestions. Located 35 miles away, Knights Action is worth hopping in the car for. Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Illinois State Capitol and Lincoln Home National Historic Site alone justify the drive. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Lincoln Home National Historic Site, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. (But we’re also big fans of Illinois State Capitol and Lincoln’s Tomb.)
