IN THE CITY OF

Historic Pride Illinois is the nation's most populous inland state. Its successful growth is due in large part to the Illinois and Michigan Canal, a revolutionary development that linked the Great Lakes to the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. The I&M Canal was vital to the development of the great City of Chicago and to the economic development of the Midwest; the Canal also fostered the growth of the small settlement that became the City of Lockport. The beautiful Des Plaines River Valley was a portage site for the Des Plaines River for the Miami and Potawatomi, and famed explorers Joliet and Marquette traversed the region on their journeys.

WELCOME w o T l a n a C I&M C

hart a course for the I&M Canal, a mid1800’s architectural wonder that helped make Chicago the city it is today. The 96-mile man-made waterway connected the Great Lakes in Bridgeport, Chicago to the Illinois River at LaSalle-Peru. This proto-highway was soon lined with dozens of lively cities, rich in history and culture. Today, these Canal Towns blend this storied legacy with a modern sophistication - sure to make for a memorable and crowd-pleasing trip.

Retrace the footsteps of the people who transformed the prairie into the expansive and diverse state it is today, filled with exciting industries, delicious dining and plenty of boutique shopping opportunities. The laborers and lock tenders of nearly two centuries ago walked the very same streets that line these quaint waterfront communities. As you retrace their steps, you’ll be struck with an unmistakable sense of adventure and authenticity, a commitment to celebrating the past while paving a bold new path forward.

In this comprehensive TRAVEL guidebook, we hope to merge the past and present of the I&M Canal, inviting you to explore both historic landmarks and exciting new attractions. In the pages within this book you’ll find countless vacation and day trip ideas, pointing you towards hidden gems, local favorite restaurants and activities that are sure to keep the entire family entertained.

Spring is just the beginning of a new hiking season. The secret is that a trip to Starved Rock is fun in every season, but especially when winter fades away, waterfalls are flowing and everything is turning green! When you need to reconnect with nature and disconnect from your screen, unwind and recharge your batteries at Starved Rock. Take it from the wildlife who call this place home: once you visit, you’ll want to return again and again!

Relax with nature at Starved Rock Lodge Stay at the only Hotel in Starved Rock State Park and be steps away from the hiking trails, enjoy guaranteed free parking, free WiFi, and amazing photo ops. Imagine relaxing in our pool complex, or eating lunch on the Veranda where the view of the scenic Illinois River Valley is the best in the Midwest.

During summer months, you can take a leisurely river cruise on the Eagle 1 or take a walk down memory lane when you attend a Tribute to the Stars performance. Book a room or cabin and celebrate with friends, get married or have a family reunion.

We’ll help you plan an enjoyable getaway at a place that’s so much more than a day trip.

Owners Paul and Chrissy met when they were both teachers.

For years they had used vacations to brewery hop around the country, favoring micro-brews that had a relaxing vibe and plenty of choices. After the birth of their son, Theo, they decided it was time to pursue their passions and open a brewery themselves. They now reside in Lockport with their son, Theo, and work to infuse their brews with the history and heritage of the town.

Paul’s family has been in Lockport for generations and the couple felt that the community of Lockport was ready for a family-centered business turning out delicious craft brews. Nik & Ivy Brewing often incorporate locally grown hops and farm products into their beer, and infuse innovative flavor notes in tried and true ales, stouts and lagers.  MYGRAIN BREWING CO. 50 E Jefferson St, 106, Joliet, IL MyGrainBrewing.com Located in Joliet’s historic Downtown, you can’t miss this train turned brewpub, featuring a breathtaking turnof-the-century facade. You’ll be just as struck by MyGrain’s taproom ambiance

as their fantastic line of house beers and elevated bar fare.

Staple beers named Iron & Steel American IPA and City of Stone Farmhouse Saison show MyGrain’s dedication to preserving the history of this historic community. You’ll also find a full menu featuring starters, salads, burgers and more, alongside a selection of craft cocktails and wines for the non-beer drinkers on your roadtrip.

MyGrain’s local favorite Sunday brunch serves up everything from eggs benedict to generously cut bacon. On this expansive menu, you’ll even find some gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options too. Don’t miss this full-service brewery and gastropub located just a few short blocks away from the historic I&M Canal towpath.  ELDER BREWING COMPANY 218 E Cass St, Joliet, IL ElderBrewingCo.com Featuring over fourteen on-tap selections, as well as some excellent canned beer options, Joliet’s Elder Brewing Company is a comfortable and hip indoor-outdoor taproom space perfect for taking a break on your travels. Popcorn is always free at Elder, and local food delivery is available from several nearby restaurants, giving this space a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. A recently added 1,100 ft event space, located directly adjacent to the building, allows Elder to now hosts concerts, special events and is available for rentals.  BISHOPS HILL WINERY 310 Bridge St, Joliet, IL 60435 bishopshill.com One of the last things you’d expect to spot in Joliet is a full-fledged castle, let alone a winery housed inside a castle. Once the headquarters for the Joliet Catholic Diocese, and before that the estate of a German Brewmaster, this striking limestone building is now available for wine tastings and special events. During extensive restorations, much of the original on-site brewery was discovered and painstakingly restored with reclaimed materials.
