The Prairie State is home to 2 new parks, New Philadelphia NHS and Springfield 1908 Race Riot NM, as well as Pullman NHP and Lincoln Home NHS, all shown above. Part of the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley NM is in Illinois, though public access to the church is limited. Several national trails also pass through the southern tip of the state, including Lewis & Clark, Mormon Pioneer, and the Trail of Tears. There are also NPS related sites, Bronzeville NHA, Chicago Portage and the IL & MI Canal NHA, as well as—below—the WHS Cahokia Mounds and three Frank Lloyd Wright designs: Oak Park, Robie and Unity Temple. Enjoy!

Here are my visits to my favorites and to all parks in the Midwest region.
