After you cross the bridge over the Illinois River, on the right hand side as you drive into the center, there is a painted mural/sign, with the words:
"Welcome to our city - Established 1835 - Marseilles
"Where relaxation, peace and fun are a way of life!"
The right side has a painted scene of the city and the Illinois River. Features in the city include one of several prominent churches, the old Nabisco plant, and the caboose (Ill Chamber of Commerce Office). The bridge crosses the river (artistic license done on placement of the bridge relative to the city). And a barge is depicted on the river.
At the bottom are some advertisements for local establishments, including the bowling alley and the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.
Nicely done.
Type of community: Town
