Pasfield Tours & Links

“The Pasfield House is an entertaining and educational must for architectural buffs or anyone interested in early Illinois history.”
~ Tony Leone, Pasfield House

The Pasfield House has been praised as a top tourist destination for anyone wishing to learn about the Springfield community leaders at the time when Lincoln married, practiced law and was elected President. Hear Springfield Stories, ones about a town that grew out of a settlement of squatters into a frontier Illinois county seat to become the seat of Illinois State Government. Springfield will always be known first and foremost as Mr. Lincoln's home town but it is also where other national political figures, pioneer industrialists, and socially conscience people made a permanent imprint on America.

Gain knowledge about all the Springfield Historic Homes and the best times are to visit.
