More About McHenry Recreation Center's Springfield & Lincoln Tour Field Trip (Ages 21+)

Come with us to visit the Illinois state capitol and Lincoln’s stomping grounds. Our first stop will be the Lincoln Museum where we can explore key events in Lincoln’s life. This state of the art facility uses hi-tech exhibits, interactive displays, and multimedia programs. We will then lunch at Maldaner’s restaurant which was established in 1884. Lunch features locally sourced ingredients influenced by Mediterranean composition. After lunch we will have a Lincoln Home and Neighborhood tour. The Lincoln home has been completely restored to its 1860 appearance and is surrounded by 4 blocks of historical exhibits. Our final tour of our State Capitol with its 405-foot dome and Renaissance Revival style will round out our Springfield experience. To finish the day, we will have a delicious dinner at Baxter’s Grille in Bloomington before heading home. Transportation via recreation van to Barrington, motorcoach to Springfield. Extensive walking. Registration deadline Wed, April 5.
