These historic 28 blocks have so much to offer, history in an abundance, walkability, shopping at some of the cutest boutiques, and numerous public spaces and parks to gather and play. We also want to mention the business assets that cover Jerseyville, and are the fabric that make this community so great. City Center Week is to celebrate who we are and where we are headed. Over 9 activities sponsored by local community groups and businesses who have banded together to cherish the memories and celebrate our communities move forward into a destination for the region’s visitors.

Do not miss the ribbon cutting and dedication of City Center Park on Friday, August 20th. Come check out not only a beautifully executed and safe parking option in Historic Downtown, but a wonderful flexible space for events and daily gathering space for many aspects of the American family. “Downtown business is growing, and we are trying to create an atmosphere that is family friendly” – Mayor Bill Russell. Plan a trip with our new online tourism map located on the City’s Tourism page and feel the safe, hospitable warmth that comes from each member of the community.
