Since 1840, Tinsley Dry Goods has been a landmark in downtown Springfield. Located in the heart of historic Springfield, Illinois and adjacent to the Lincoln-Herndon Law Office just off the Old Capitol square, our shop reflects the look and feel of shopping when Abe himself walked these floors.

Come in to this charming shop for the area’s largest collection of Lincoln busts, souvenirs, exclusive t-shirts with Lincoln themes, cards, soy jar candles and accessories, period décor and music, rustic metal and wood signs, civil war reproduction guns and swords, and Willow Tree angels.

Tinsley Dry Goods was renovated in the spring of 2005 to take the shop back to the look and feel of the mid-1800’s. With a tin ceiling, pine beams and a rustic native white oak wooden floor, it’s the only period shop in the downtown historic district. And, we received Downtown Springfield’s Best Interior Renovation award for 2005!

So, whether as a tourist, a shopper or both, be sure to see this award-winning shop the next time you’re in downtown Springfield!
