Review:
Mount Carroll is a small town in Carroll County of northwest Illinois. The rural area is ideal for outdoor adventure, and offers densely wooded forests and rolling hills just minutes away from the Mississippi River. The historic Mount Carroll village is known for Mayfest, an annual arts and crafts, wine and beer, and car show. Shopping for antiques and collectibles is a popular pastime. The area is part of the Barn Quilt Trail, a rural Midwestern tradition where barns are decorated with a hanging quilt, similar to a family crest. Visitors can find maps to the trail at many of the local shops.
