Utica, IL: A Historic Refuge
Located between the Quad Cities, Peoria, and Chicago, Utica, IL offers refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life in the city and a step back into a more-quaint time. The town was established during the 1830’s along the banks of the Illinois River as a riverside stop from the steamboats that darted up and down the winding river. Visitors today can take a look at the Illinois/Michigan canal, which helped Illinois sailors run river trading during much of the 19th century, or the LaSalle County Historical Museum, which was one a general store for pioneers settling the area.
Just south of Utica and across the Illinois River are Started Rock and Matthiessen State Parks. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore each parks’ unique and striking rock formations while soaking in the immense amount of vegetation and wildlife. Those who enjoy the water can wind along the Illinois River as it cuts through Starved Rock park.
