VANDALIA GEAR

Vandalia holds a significant place in American history as Illinois's former state capital, serving from 1819 until 1839 when government operations moved to Springfield. The city's role as the western terminus of the National Road during the early 19th century shaped its importance as a crossroads community. Today, the Vandalia State House State Historic Site, originally constructed in 1836, stands as a testament to that era, drawing visitors to explore the grounds and capital building that once governed the state. The Kaskaskia River winds through this city of 7,458 residents, 60 miles northeast of St. Louis. Wear your Vandalia heritage with apparel from Hometown Supply Co.
