FREE is such an awesome word when you are planning a trip. This summer Springfield, Illinois has lots of free live performances and activities for visitors. You can 'meet' President Lincoln, General Grant, make 19th century crafts, listen to the Lincoln Troubadours or attend an ice cream social...all at no charge. Springfield is an easy day trip and this is a good trip for children and adults. For more information-
