Highlights From the Elsah, Illinois Holiday Tour 2023

If you’re searching for a quaint Christmas, follow the Great River Road to Elsah, Illinois.

The entire village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This year’s Holiday Tour was a very walkable loop throughout the village complete with strolling carolers, warm hospitality, artists in residence, and a visit from the Jolly Man himself. Elsah is charming any time of year, but during the holidays, the village is especially inviting, throwing open its doors to tour goers. Make sure to check out the museum and the general store for the full experience.
