Road TripsAbout OttawaNicknamed “The Town of Two Rivers” for its proximity to the Illinois and Fox rivers, Ottawa boasts two town squares dating from the 1800s, historic architecture and ample recreational opportunities.
The town's Washington Square is where Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas held a senatorial debate on Aug. 21, 1858. Surrounded by examples of Greek Revival, Italianate and English High Gothic architecture, the square continues to be used for entertainment gatherings. The Main Street district offers antiques, specialty stores and outdoor murals.
