HAVANA Named for Havana, Cuba, as was the fashion in the mid-1800s, Havana was founded on the banks of the Illinois River and retains much of its historic charm. Today visitors can enjoy walks along the


riverfront or explore nature at nearby sites such as Chautauqua and Emiquon National Wildlife Refuges. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Havana Nature Center • 416 N Schrader Street • Havana • 309-543-1031
