Lewistown is a Portal Community along the Illinois River Road

Video tours of the Byway are now viewable and downloadable from www.illinoisriverroad.org and on YouTube. Tours of each of the Byway’s Gateway Communities (Ottawa, Princeton, Peoria, Pekin, Canton and Havana) showcase the Illinois River Valley and its unique aspects, as well as the many things visitors can do while they are exploring the Illinois River Road. This project was completed with the help of a National Scenic Byway Grant under the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, as well as an Illinois Office of Tourism grant.

The new 34‐page Illinois River Road Map & Discovery Guide is a comprehensive guide to communities and waypoint sites along the Illinois River Road, and is the core informational piece for the Illinois River Road. It is rich with color photographs, maps and detailed site information, including GPS locations and website addresses, and is available in print at area visitor information centers and Travel Information Centers throughout the state and online at www.illinoisriverroad.org. This project was completed with the help of a National Scenic Byway Grant under the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, as well as an Illinois Office of Tourism grant.
