Old State Capitol

Former seat of state government, having a historic purpose during political struggle between Douglas and Lincoln. Nice place!

This is like you walked into the place while the Legislators were on a break: you can go all over the whole building, and there are plenty of volunteers to help interpret and answer questions. The House Chamber is where Abraham Lincoln gave his "House Divided" speech, that helped launch his Presidential Candidacy, and they let you go all over the old House and Senate Chambers.

Impressive structure that is just oozing with history. The rooms inside have been recreated to a period feel with interesting interprative plaques.
