Welcome to Illinois in Focus!

Welcome to the website dedicated to the joy of exploring in pictures the state of Illinois!  From windswept prairies to majestic bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, from wooden French colonial homes to modern steel and glass skyscrapers in Chicago, from the little known small towns and farms to the places where Abraham Lincoln (and three other presidents, including our current one) rose to prominence, you will find it all here at Illinois in Focus.  The goal of this website is to educate people on the many great attractions Illinois has to offer, to inspire those living in Illinois to enjoy the freedom of exploring what is in their own back yard, and to encourage those in other states and around the world to come visit and see all that the Land of Lincoln has to offer.
