Fall is the perfect time to travel to another town and take in the fall colors. Illinois is full of charming towns, even more charming in the fall. But none is better than charming Batavia, Illinois. Off the Fox River, this town looks great year-round, but it is particularly stunning during the autumn. Here’s what you can expect of this wonderful town.

What's more charming than a bit of history, which you will learn at the Depot? It was formerly the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
