Battle of Springfield
Across from this site stood Fort No. 5, the second larges of five forts built around Springfield. By January 8, 1863, the fort was only partially finished. It served only as a rallying point during the battle. From this point and along St. Louis Street, Union soldiers from the 3rd and 14th Missouri State Militia Cavalry engaged in several skirmishes with Maj. Ben Elliott's battalion of scouts. In one brief encounter, two companies of the 14th MSM, commanded by Lt. Col. Pound and Capt. Milton Burch, clashed with Lt. William H. Gregg and Quantrill's Confederate company, resulting in a number of casualties to the Union forces. From this position on the morning of January 9, the weary Union defenders watched as the Confederates disengaged their battle lines and withdrew east along St. Louis St., the road to St. Louis. The battle was over. Both sides suffered casualties in excess of 12%.

This sculpture of a woman with open arms represents "Illinois Welcoming the World". The plaster statue was first displayed in the Illinois Building at the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The sculptor, Julia M. Bracken, was asked to reproduce the statue in bronze for the Capitol. It was dedicated on May 16, 1895. The star in the marble tile at the base of the statue has eight points, one for each letter in the word Illinois.

Springfield has its share of odd sights along the road. You might bump into an old, damaged green elephant advertising a defunct record store, a pink elephant with a giant martini, or even a 30-foot tall statue of young Abe Lincoln at the state fair grounds.
