Featured getaway: Springfield, Illinois

Reminders of a rich and remarkable history mix with the everyday whirl of modern politics in Springfield, the Illinois state capital and home of America's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. A tour of the area's Lincoln sites sheds light on the Great Emancipator's pre-politics legal career, his local roots and his path to the White House. Springfield is a working, welcoming town offering visitors many cultural and recreational diversions, but almost 140 years after his death, Honest Abe is still the city's main man.

Each year, horse enthusiasts hoof it to Louisville and Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. In addition to equestrian endeavors and bluegrass roots, Louisville boasts a range of exciting attractions the whole family can enjoy. Stroll through Central Park, in the historic district, to people-watch and get a real feel for the city. Visit other nearby parks for hiking, biking and fossil finding. Baseball fans will love the Louisville Slugger Museum, a celebration of the sport's legends. The museum is easy to spot, just look for the humongous bat that leans against the building.
