The Dana-Thomas House State Historic Site is at 301 E. Lawrence Ave. in Springfield. The home, built between 1902 and 1904, is perhaps the best preserved of architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style homes, with more than 400 pieces of specially made art glass and original furnishings.

The Dana-Thomas House Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1983 to preserve and protect the Dana-Thomas House and to promote public awareness of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural significance.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources was established in 1925 as the Illinois Department of Conservation, bringing under one umbrella oversight of fish and game, forestry, public works, and lakes. Today, IDNR's work encompasses management of about 400 sites across Illinois, including state parks and historic sites; wildlife, fisheries, forestry, and natural heritage; Lake Michigan water allocation and coastal management; conservation police; mines and minerals; oil and gas; issuance of licenses, permits, and numerous grants; the World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Sparta; and the Illinois State Museum.
