Welcome to Southwestern Illinois! Take a glimpse of the Country, Cultures, and Character of our region while on a virtual tour. Once you discover all our region has to offer, we hope you'll come visit us in person. The nine counties that make up Southwestern Illinois have a diverse history and a wide range of attractions.

For shoppers, Fairview Heights is the place to be-it's home to the largest shopping mall south of Chicago. For adventure lovers, Carlyle Lake, Illinois' largest man-made lake, is just a few miles away from MidAmerica Airport, and the largest ancient American Indian site in the U.S can be found in Collinsville. Want to explore for yourself? Then go ahead and travel back in time on a drive down the world famous Route 66. Looking for Lincoln? Then visit Vandalia where the 16th president began his political career. If excitement and entertainment are what you want, it awaits you at the Casino Queen, Gateway International Raceway, or the brand new World Shooting and Recreational Complex.

These are just a few of the things you can do while visiting Southwestern Illinois. Whatever your taste may be, you are bound to find it here among the Country, Cultures, and Character of our region. Hope to see you soon!
