Old State Capitol
The Old State Capitol is an elegant setting for candlelight receptions. There is something special about this
building in the evening—it is somehow easier to transport yourself back in time and imagine what it must have
been like for citizens of Springfield in the mid-1800s.

Dana-Thomas House
The Dana-Thomas House, one of the finest examples of early Frank Lloyd Wright/Prairie style architecture,
is located in the heart of Springfield. Originally built for local socialite and activist Susan Lawrence Dana
at the turn of the century, this lavish residence is now open to the public and available for private functions!

New Salem
Lincoln’s New Salem is an excellent setting for a picnic or a unique themed event! Also, from June through
August (generally Fri-Sun) you can combine your evening function with an evening of entertainment at
New Salem’s outdoor Theatre in the Park.
