Havana, IL

Havana is a small Illinois River town about 45 miles northwest of Springfield, accessible via scenic Route 97 through farmland or Route 100 along the river from Peoria. The community of 3,000 sits in rolling central Illinois terrain with a continental climate. Downtown features antique shops in historic buildings, but the town's most striking feature is the Havana Silo Murals, where artists have transformed old grain silos into a towering outdoor art gallery visible from miles away.
