Illinois Essentials

Illinois features a mix of urban landmarks and significant historical sites. In Chicago, highlights include the 1914 Navy Pier, the Shedd Aquarium, and the iconic Wrigley Field. Springfield serves as a hub for Abraham Lincoln’s legacy, housing his former home, presidential museum, and tomb. Architectural landmarks range from Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House to the ornate Chicago Theatre. The state’s deeper history is preserved at the Cahokia Mounds, a UNESCO World Heritage site documenting the largest pre-Columbian settlement north of Mexico.
