Springfield, Illinois:
The Great Western Depot was the site of Abraham Lincoln's Farewell Speech as he left Springfield, Illinois for Washington, D.C. to become the 16th President of the United States. The Great Western Railroad had constructed the simple brick building in 1852 as a one story structure and used it primarily as a passenger station during Lincoln's time. The characteristic wide overhanging roof provided shelter for passengers, belongings, and freight as they awaited their train. Although fire heavily damaged the structure in 1857 and a second story was added in 1900, the general exterior appearance did not change greatly. Passenger service was moved to a new building in 1868, but the depot continued to be used for freight service for a number of years by the railroad. Various other businesses used the depot as a warehouse prior to the 1960's when the building was purchased to preserve its historic association. It has since been a historic site with a Lincoln focus. In 1987 the State Journal Register (now owned by Gatehouse Media, Inc.), the descendant of the newspaper Lincoln knew, took control of the building and its maintenance and works in partnership with the National Park Service to interpret the historic site.

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.
