Fulton County

The land of Fulton County was granted to the veterans of the War of 1812, beginning the county's ties to American history. Communities such as Canton and Farmington were part of the Civil War's Underground Railroad, and WWII's Camp Ellis was situated near Ipava. Major attractions include the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive, luring over 100,000 visitors to its antiques, crafts and shopping each fall, and Lewistown's Dickson Mounds Museum, one of the major on-site archeological museums in the nation. Fulton County is increasingly known for wildlife viewing and other outdoor recreation, offering beautiful parks and great grounds for hunting and fishing.
