About Savanna

Savanna sits right where the Plum River meets the Mississippi, tucked along scenic river bluffs in northwestern Illinois. The town got its start as a steamboat landing before expanding into a major railroad hub, and that history is still visible across its downtown brick buildings. Today, Savanna offers a relaxed small-town feel, complete with a classic Main Street, wide river views, and easy access to the hiking trails and scenic overlooks at nearby Mississippi Palisades State Park.
