Walking Tours Of Collinsville

There are a lot of historical and architectural gems packed into Collinsville! We've broken the sights down into three separate walking tours: Downtown Collinsville, Hillside and Collinsville West. As you meander through the village, make sure to stop and eat at one of Collinsville's wonderful restaurants for lunch or dinner. You can also get in some unique shopping! For a complete business directory, visit www.visitcollinsville.com.

Watch for the icons to:
