1 week agoThis Charming River Town Is One of the Midwest's Best-kept Secrets-and It Has Gorgeous Parks, a Deep Art History, and a Quaint Downtown
Founded in the early 1830s, the town initially served as a key river port. Long before that, the land was home to the Potawatomi and Winnebago tribes, whose connection to the area can still be felt. Public art installations and interpretive signage across the town honor its Indigenous history and serve as a quiet tribute to the region's first peoples.
