We invite you to come visit the only Illinois community named as one of The "100 Best Small Towns In America" (1996 book by Norman Crampton). Located in the heart of Central Illinois, Carlinville is proud of its extensive historic district which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The elegance and architectural variety of the many homes, churches, and businesses within the historic district have attracted numerous visitors. Some of the highlights include the majestic "Million Dollar" Macoupin County Courthouse, the 1869 County Jail, Blackburn College, the Macoupin County Historical Society Museum, and the largest collection of Sears & Roebuck Mail Order Catalog Homes in the U.S.
The historic beauty of the community is only a part of the attraction of Carlinville. Situated in the center of the Victorian city square, the postage-stamp sized city park is crowned by a picturesque gazebo. All around the square there are a variety of fine shops and boutiques.
We invite you to visit our many fine businesses and attend some of our festivals and events held throughout the year. While you are here, enjoy one or more of Carlinville's restaurants, offering everything from fine dining to fast food. Overnight accommodations are also available for those who wish to relax and spend some time in our friendly community.
Contact the Carlinville Community Chamber of Commerce, 854-2141 for more information and to reserve your tour.
