Built in 1850 along the banks of the Illinois River, 1850's Guest House has welcomed travelers, families, and friends for over 175 years. What was once a stopping point for stagecoach passengers is now a carefully preserved bed and breakfast that honors its past while providing every comfort of modern lodging.
