The museum area will be the highlight of the day. When you're done there, there's a home made candy store a block away called Pease's. After Pease's continue south by foot to the old state capitol, to the left is a Cold Stone Creamery, and to the south, next to the Lincoln Herndon law office is "The Feed Store". Great soups and sandwiches. On the food topic, if you want a bigger meal, there's a great italian place called Saputo's within a mile or so. Definitely recommended! (Strongly recommended is the italian breaded filet with garlic butter sauce and the house salad.) Another excellent place for the famous Springfield horseshoe or anything else on the menu, is D'Arcy's Pint. (You'll have to drive from the museum area) (about an hour wait, no reservations, but worth it!)
Some other downtown eateries worth mentioning are (lunch)Sammy's Sports Bar, (horseshoes again.) Lunch: Kind of gourmet Bentoh's, Care Brio, and (subs)Head West.
Close to the museum, you might want to check out "Recycled Records". Used LP's, 45's, 78's, lava lamps, and all kinds of old stuff.
Dinner: Maldaner's, Saputo's.
