Marseilles
Experience the Marseilles Gateway Along the Illinois River Road
Just east of the Ottawa Gateway lies the town of Marseilles. Located across the river bank from Illini State Park, and a stop along the I&M Canal, Marseilles is also home to the only memorial dedicated to those service people who have lost their lives fighting in Middle East wars. Accented with night lighting and beautiful fountains, the Middle East Conflicts Memorial Wall is a worthwhile stop for visitors at any time of day or night.
