Jo Daviess County, home to just 22,000 people in northwest Illinois, welcomes thousands more visitors each year. Residents and guests alike enjoy a setting that blends history and architecture with scenic terrain, picturesque farms, and friendly towns and villages.
The mix of valleys, ridges, and Mississippi River blufflands offers a variety of habitats to explore from a variety of perspectives, birding to botanizing, bicycling to hot-air ballooning, canoeing to gourmet cooking.
No other part of the state has resources like this, cared for by a citizenry so keen on stewardship.
