Visit Streator Illinois This Summer
The one hundred days of summer have arrived in Streator. Located in LaSalle County, the city is on track to open for business after Covid-19 closures ordered by Governor Pritzker. You'll love the town called the Quiet Surprise on the Prairie.
Draw Close to Nature
Streator offers three parks that let nature take its course. Spring Lake Park awaits with forty acres of woods and fields, crossed by whitewater streams. Enjoy forest bathing as you walk along Eagle Creek to a waterfall that cascades down a sandstone bench. Marilla Park offers sixty five acres of oak savanna along the course of Otter Creek. Enjoy a round of disc golf on the new course. Hopalong Cassidy Park meanders along the surprisingly wild Vermilion River where you will discover wild birds and beavers at work.
Draw Close to One Another
Streator features several prairie mansions available for the weekend through Airbnb. These cozy homes offer wrap around porches, formal gardens, gingerbread ornamentation and Victorian turrets. Read or converse together on the porch, enjoying the evening air, and order delivery from local restaurants that offer fine dining to American bistro. Comfortable hotel lodgings can be booked for those wanting traditional accommodations.
Draw Close to History
A series of twelve murals painted by the Chicago Walldogs reveal the history of Streator. One mural celebrates the life of Hopalong Cassidy, created by resident Clarence Mulford. Another mural honors Clyde Tombaugh, a local who discovered Pluto. You'll find the murals within an easy walk of City Park downtown.
