Four counties, four personalities, one big backyard. From the Mississippi River bluffs to restored prairie roamed by bison, each county of Northwest Illinois has its own story to tell.
Carroll County
Mississippi Palisades, historic Savanna, Timber Lake Playhouse, and river-town charm all the way to the water’s edge.
Lee County
Bison roaming Nachusa Grasslands, Ronald Reagan’s boyhood home in Dixon, and the historic Dixon Arch welcoming you in.
Ogle County
The artist colony of the Rock River Valley — Castle Rock State Park, the Eternal Indian, and Oregon’s thriving arts community.
Whiteside County
Dutch windmills in Fulton, the Great River Road, Morrison Rockwood State Park, and small towns that lead to the Mississippi.
