is a fun place to visit. You
can enjoy shopping, take advantage
of the many beautiful parks or
go to a wide variety of special
events year round. Popular events
include go-karting, the Tin Dusters
Fall Color Run, Octoberfest and
Holiday tours. Many museums showcase
the past and broaden our horizons.
The Illinois Veterans
Home is located in Quincy. The
Villa Kathrine which overlooks
the Mississippi is the only example
of Mediterranean architecture
along the river. Today it is
