As I mentioned before, we were in Springfield in March RIGHT as the coronavirus scare started. AND, just like with the new/current State Capitol, the "Old" State Capitol had stopped doing tours... but they were letting people come in and do the self guided thing.
This is where Abe and another future President, US Grant hung out! Its not as ornate as the new Capitol, but it is just as historic.
Also, it is here that Abraham Lincoln's body would lay in state before being buried at the nearby Oak Ridge Cemetery.
