About Grafton

Sitting right where the Illinois and Mississippi rivers join, Grafton is a scenic river town framed by towering limestone bluffs. While it started out as a busy 19th-century shipping and quarry town, today's Grafton has a much slower, friendlier pace. Daily life centers around the riverfront and a lively Main Street filled with local wineries, open-air restaurants, and small shops. Outdoor lovers have easy access to the Sam Vadalabene Bike Trail along the Great River Road, plus miles of hiking trails and eagle watching at Pere Marquette State Park just down the road. For anyone looking for a quiet community with stunning water views, Grafton offers a classic Midwest riverfront lifestyle.
