Illinois - Abraham Lincoln Depot

Springfield, IL - When Lincoln left Springfield to start his inaugural journey on February 11, 1861, he paid an unforgettable tribute to his friends and neighbors known today as the Farewell Address. Lincoln spoke these famous words as he boarded a special Presidential train at the Great Western Railroad station, now a restored Lincoln visitor site. The old brick depot is often overlooked by visitors but is worth investigating -- it's just two blocks from the Lincoln home.
