Springfield - Edwards Place
|
|
Edwards Place is the oldest home in Springfield on its original foundation; it has been wonderfully preserved and was once a center for social activity in Springfield. Benjamin and Helen Edwards entertained, from 1843 to 1909, at lavish dinner parties and the grounds played host to many summer picnics and political rallies with prominent citizens and politicians such as Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in attendance.
