Things To Do

We're so excited to share a few of our favorite places in the area with you! Obviously Marissa has a passion for food so we listed some of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat. If you haven't had a horseshoe or do not know what one is you HAVE to try it while you're here! Being that Springfield is the Land of Lincoln there are plenty of touristy things to do! Lincolns Home, Lincolns Tomb, The Presidential Museum, etc. If you are like Ben and thrive on finding golf courses in every city, we have PLENTY to choose from! Ben picked some of his favorites and they are listed below. Shopping; Scheels has EVERYTHING! I highly recommend checking it out if you've never been to one. Plan a few hours to visit. If you are looking for small boutiques Gypsy Soul is one of Marissa's favorites!
