3 CAPITAL CITY BOURBON JOURNEY

Our rich history and the legacy of our community brings tens of thousands of individuals to our city each year. But what built Springfield — and made it what it is today — are the individuals and families who have come to call Springfield home. That’s why we say local businesses are the backbone of our community.

Now you are part of this journey and can choose your own adventure. Whether you are a bourbon connoisseur or never tried a sip, you are in the right place! You can choose any of these doors to walk through and let them know you are part of the Capital City Bourbon Journey. The passport can be picked up at any participating location or the Springfield Visitors Center. BourbonJourney.springfield.il.us
