If you find yourself with a little spare time and you don’t mind traveling 30 miles, take a look at Springfield. This popular place has loads of things to keep you engaged. Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Illinois State Capitol and Lincoln Home National Historic Site alone justify the drive out here. Situated 40 miles away, Pittsfield is another place to aim for. If you visit, be sure to check out Old Orchard Country Club, John Greene Shastid House and Pike County Historic Museum.
