The Scenic Village of Thomson
The area along Route 84 is known as "the great river road - one of the most scenic routes in America," which is where the Village of Thomson, Illinois is situated. Upon driving to the little village that is less than 3 miles long, we couldn't agree more. If you want to see nature at its finest, come to Thomson. Known for its hunting and fishing, there is a wide variety of wildlife in Thomson. The village boasts about their abundance of duck, deer and turkey as well as their assortment of fish. Kept a secret for years, people now come all the way from Chicago, Ohio and Indiana just to try to catch bass swimming in the river. The Causeway Recreational Area is a great place to camp with family and friends. Camp sites are scattered among tress and have a stunning view the mighty Mississippi River. If you would like to see river otters, fox and deer all you have to do is quietly walk one of the trails. This campground is located in the same spot that Woodland Indians once called home. Burial mounds date back to 1500 years ago and are considered a "must see." If hunting and camping isn't your thing, head down to the Heirloom Market. This state of the art shop finds a balance between old and new. Fruit and vegetable bins line the front porch next to rocking chairs. Solar technology keeps everything running. Nestled inside The Heirloom Market is a locally owned restaurant that anyone driving to Thomson must stop and dine at. If you are thinking about relocating to get away from the bustle of city life, consider Thomson, Illinois.
