Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The statue of Dr. King was unveiled on January 14, 1988 and displayed in the Capitol rotunda until it was moved outside the Illinois State Museum in 1989. In 1993 the statue was moved to its present location at "Freedom Corner" across 2nd Street from the Lincoln statue. Dr. King is the only non-Illinoisan to be honored with a statue.

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%.

Built in 1852, this Italianate-style building was constructed to serve as a passenger station on the Great Western Railroad at Springfield, and was heavily renovated after a fire in 1857. The building was originally one story in height, and was the location of Lincoln’s Farewell Address in 1861, when he left Springfield for Washington, DC to serve as the President of the United States. The building was expanded in 1900 with the addition of a second floor, at which time the Great Western Railroad had merged with several other railroads to form what was initially known as the Toledo, Wabash, and Western Railroad in 1865, later known as the Wabash Railroad after 1877. The building served as a freight station beginning in the late 19th Century, and was utilized by a variety of businesses, including serving as a warehouse, before being heavily damaged by a major fire in 1968. After the fire, the building was restored to its circa 1900 appearance, and was utilized as a museum, becoming affiliated with Sangamon State University between 1977 and 1980, but being discontinued due to a lack of funding during the public austerity spearheaded by the Reagan administration. The building subsequently was managed by the Copley Press, who owned the building and the local newspaper known as The State Journal-Register, until 2012, when the building was sold to attorney Jon Gray Noll. Roll undertook a major rehabilitation of the building, moving his law offices to the second floor, and opening the first floor as a museum. The building features a red brick exterior, brick pilasters, arched bays containing six-over-six and two-over-two windows, a low-pitch gabled roof with large brackets, and a modern concrete ramp alongside the railroad tracks. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
Built in 1855 and expanded with an addition in 1900, this Italianate-style building is known as the Buck’s Building.

The building is a contributing structure in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016.
