Old State Capitol - The Last Stop on This Journey

The last stop before heading back to Chicago was the Old State Capitol in Springfield.  This is the building that Abraham Lincoln worked in before becoming president.  In fact, right in front of the capitol is the law office of Lincoln that is currently being restored.

The building is absolutely beautiful with a central hall and grand staircase.  The rooms are decorated with original furniture from when the capitol was bustling with activity.
