Greetings! Here is Part 2 of my pictorial tour of Alton, Illinois. Be sure to check out Part 1 for more sites and photos, as well as information on our day trip to Alton.

Such a beautiful view of the Mississippi River.

Another view of the mighty Mississippi.

The infamous, but not to be messed with (we had to take the pics while flying down the road) McPike Mansion.

The Piasa Bird.


The historic ruins of the Alton Military Prison walls.
