Where can I store luggage in Springfield, Illinois?

Springfield, Illinois is Lincoln's city. He lived here, practised law here, gave speeches here, and is buried here. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is one of the best presidential museums in the country. Lincoln's home on 8th Street is preserved exactly as it was in the 1860s, and the Old State Capitol is where he delivered the famous "House Divided" speech. You can spend an entire day just on the Lincoln trail and still not see everything.

But Springfield has more going on than history class. It sits right on the original Route 66, and the Mother Road heritage is everywhere. The Cozy Dog Drive In claims to have invented the corn dog (they call it a cozy dog). The Route 66 Drive-In Theatre is still running movies on summer nights. Downtown has a solid restaurant scene, and the Dana-Thomas House is a gorgeous Frank Lloyd Wright home that's open for tours. For a mid-sized Midwestern city, Springfield punches above its weight.

And you'll enjoy all of it more without bags slowing you down. BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Springfield inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your stuff and go explore. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

Where to find luggage storage in Springfield

Springfield is spread out a bit, but the main attractions cluster in a few areas. Here's where BagDrop locations make the most sense:

Downtown and the Old State Capitol

Downtown Springfield is centred around the Old State Capitol, which sits in the middle of a public square. The current State Capitol building is a few blocks south. Adams Street and the surrounding blocks have restaurants, shops and some nice old architecture. If you're walking the Lincoln heritage trail or visiting government buildings, a BagDrop downtown means you can move around the historic district without dragging anything behind you.

Lincoln Home National Historic Site

Lincoln's home is on 8th Street, and the National Park Service has preserved several blocks around it to look as they did in the 1860s. It's a walking neighbourhood with boardwalks and period buildings. The visitor centre is free and the home tours run throughout the day. It's a quiet, reflective kind of place, and you'll appreciate it more without a suitcase tagging along.

Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum

The presidential library and museum is on North 6th Street, a short walk from the Old State Capitol. It's a serious museum with immersive exhibits, original documents and full-scale recreations. You could easily spend two or three hours here. They have coat check options on busy days, but a BagDrop nearby gives you more flexibility for the rest of your day.

Route 66 corridor

Route 66 runs right through Springfield, and several of the classic roadside attractions are scattered along it. The Cozy Dog Drive In, Maid-Rite, Shea's Gas Station Museum and the Route 66 Drive-In Theatre are all part of the experience. If you're doing the full Route 66 Springfield tour, you'll be driving and walking between stops all day. Leave the bags behind and focus on the road.

Other luggage storage options in Springfield

Springfield doesn't have a ton of storage options outside BagsAway. Here's what's out there:

Springfield Amtrak station

The Amtrak station on 3rd and Washington gets regular service from Chicago and St. Louis. There's no luggage storage at the station itself. If you're arriving by train and want to see the city before heading out, a BagsAway BagDrop nearby is the easiest option.

Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport (SPI)

SPI is a small regional airport about five miles from downtown. It doesn't have public luggage lockers or a storage service. If you've got time before your flight, drop your bags at a BagDrop and spend your last hours in town.

Hotel storage

Most Springfield hotels will hold bags for current guests, but it's hit or miss for non-guests. The hotels cluster around Dirksen Parkway and near the interstate, which isn't always convenient if you're spending the day downtown. BagsAway lets you store bags where you actually want to be.
