Spoken like an up-stater.
The third capitol building (1824–1836), also built in Vandalia, was the scene of most of the service of Abraham Lincoln as a member of the Illinois state legislature.
Oh right, I knew we had a former capital city (2 actually, the first one was practically in Missouri and pretty much swallowed by the mighty Mississip) but I didn’t know the capital was still outside Springfield by the time Abe was elected to the legislature. The Springfield chamber of commerce had worked hard to tie Abe to that city.
