QUINCY AREA

Adams County

Located on the western border of Illinois on the Mississippi River where Missouri and Iowa meet, Quincy serves as the county seat of Adams County. The neighboring counties of Hancock and Pike hold many charming small towns, with Nauvoo and Pittsfield as historic cornerstones. Both areas are only an easy 45-minute drive from Quincy (see pages 13-20). The Quincy area is teeming with delights for the curious traveler. Architectural marvels, culinary wonders, and nature’s evolving backdrop along the grandest river in America await. The thriving agricultural community delivers surprises from a rural museum dedicated to preserving 1930s farm life, to seven family-owned wineries and en- gaging farm stands and sunflower groves. A distinctive tapestry of past and present weaves the story of a city with notable cultural and historic milestones as well as contemporary visionaries cre- ating new experiences to ignite senses today. The first Underground Railroad stop east of Missouri was located in Quincy and is now a touring museum. Father Tolton, the first African-American Catholic priest in the United States, spent his formative years here. And, the charming city was home to Ameri- ca’s first Arts Council, established in 1947. We’re excited to share our treasures and warm community spirit with you. Cheers to you and your “firsts” in our gem of a city!

PITTSFIELD AREA Pike County

Nestled between the two rivers of West Central Illinois, Pike County is chock full of history, natural resources and wild life. From 1821 through 1822, Pike County consisted of all the land between the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers that included, at the time, the small city of Chicago. The county has strong historical ties with Abraham Lincoln, who practiced law and made campaign stops in the area. Pike County is dotted with many unique towns and villages including Pittsfield, Barry, Griggsville, Hull and New Philadelphia, the first town in the United States to be settled by an African Ameri- can. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now part of the National Park Service. Leading the state of Illinois, and in fact the Mid- west, in trophy-winning whitetail buck hunting and Pike County offers exceptional wild turkey hunting and fishing. The scenic area is home to a variety of additional outdoor activities with ample camp- ing, boating, and golfing options. Lodging selections include state-of-the-art country lodges, guest houses, bed & breakfasts, historic hotels, cabins at the lake, and motels. Interesting shops, antiquing and tasty local eat- eries are around every bend in the road. Pike County’s small communities offer more than 25 yearly special events and festivals that cele- brate everything from agricultural diversity and jeep trail riding, to Abraham Lincoln and Civil War heritage.
