Each year, Hemisphere Educational Travel brings thousands of students to Illinois’ State Capital in Springfield. Why you ask? Maybe it’s because we’re headquartered in Illinois, or maybe we just can’t get enough Abraham Lincoln, but we love planning student trips to Springfield and we’re well-known and well-equipped for it. Whether you are a Chicago Public School (CPS Vendor # 47670), a suburban school or a downstate school, we can handle your Springfield tour needs!
Explore the world of Abraham Lincoln, the Old and New State Capitol, Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and more in a one or two-day trip. Were you aware Springfield is only 90 miles away from St. Louis? We are experts at coordinating a 2 day Springfield, St. Louis tour also!
