General

Central Illinois boasts the state capital of Springfield as well as the cities of Bloomington-Normal, Decatur, and Champaign-Urbana. In addition to these industrial and cultural centers the region also contains a rich agricultural tradition with dozen of hamlets offering a slice of small-town American life. The area is closely tied to history as the home of President Abraham Lincoln, and offers numerous educational and entertaining historical sites such as Lincoln's home, The Old State Capitol, and Lincoln's New Salem. Champaign/Urbana is the home of the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois.
