My FavoritesInformation
Learn about early Springfield at the home of one of the city's founding fathers, Elijah Iles.
Temporarily Closed
Standing as the oldest surviving home in Springfield, the house was home to Springfield's first merchant and a friend and supporter of Abraham Lincoln. Iles served with Lincoln in the Blackhawk War of 1832, and helped Lincoln secure the state capital's move from Vandalia to Springfield.
