- I got an email today from Subaru letting me know that all national parks have free admission this Saturday. I clicked the Find a park link where I learned there's only one national park in the entire state of Illinois, and we've already been to it. It's Abraham Lincoln's home in Springfield. And on top of that, it's already free; there's never an admission fee.
