EXPLORE SAVANNA<\/span>
\"\"
Savanna is a vibrant little river town nestled between the Mississippi River and the Bluffs of the Driftless area in Northwest Illinois.

Settled in 1828 by explorers from Galena, Savanna is one of the oldest towns in Illinois. Savanna began as a Steamboat stop for runs between Galena and St. Louis. We quickly grew as a logging and shipping port and eventually a Railroad hub. You can still watch the barges being loaded on our River Front as they are sent down the River.

Today, Savanna attracts visitors from all over the Midwest, United States and the World. Named #4 in the USA Today\u2019s 2020 \u201cBest small towns for adventure\u201d, Savanna is ready for you to explore.
