About Mount Vernon

Since its founding in 1917 by Zadok Casey, Mount Vernon has had a captivating history. Initially accessible only via high roads from the north or swamps from the south, the town’s growth was hindered by the absence of proper roads. Fortunately, with the construction of the “Vandalia Road” in 1823 by Thomas D. Minor and William Maxwell, Mount Vernon flourished. Notably, the relocation of the Illinois Supreme Court to Mount Vernon in 1848 attracted significant figures, including Abraham Lincoln.

The town’s industrial legacy includes the renowned Mt. Vernon Car Manufacturing Company, which began operation in 1889 and built railroad cars. Although the car shops closed in 1954, Precision Engineering revitalized the industry in the 1970s by scrapping and refurbishing old locomotives. Today, Mount Vernon thrives as a hub for National Railway Equipment.

Beyond its rich history, Mount Vernon offers a host of attractions to explore:

• Experience the captivating Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, a premier art museum in southern Illinois that showcases both visual and performing arts throughout the year.
• Discover the Hall of Honor & Military Museum, a poignant tribute to the World War II era, located at the Mount Vernon airport.
• When it’s time to unwind, head to Pro’s Sports Bar, the perfect spot to savor local cuisine while catching a game.
