Illinois Travel Guide
Illinois borders Lake Michigan to the north while the bulk of the state extends southward well into America?s midwest. The state is probably best known for Chicago, or the ?Windy City,? where you?ll find interesting historical structures, a myriad of cultural venues and some spectacular shopping. Outdoor adventure and family fun await elsewhere in the state. It?s said that it takes a full week to explore Illinois? ?Seven Wonders.? Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago, boasts one of seven Baha'i houses of worship in the world. Starved Rock State Park features 18 canyons to explore - and the extensive formal and sculpture gardens of Allerton Park and Retreat Center. A visit to Black Hawk State Historic Site, which chronicles Sauk and Fox Indian history, is in order, before heading back to Chicago for some world-famous deep-dish pizza.
