At the center of the city is the historic downtown Main Street District. An official Illinois Main Street community, Taylorville is home to a Chrisitan County landmark, the 100-year-old courthouse in the middle of the town square. Shoppers love to explore boutiques, specialty shops and restaurants in the district. If you want to stay awhile, you’ll discover fine accommodations at the historic Market Street Inn, an 1892 Queen Anne Victorian Bed and Breakfast.

Many events also take place downtown. Retailers participate in several promotions throughout the year, including the annual Moonlight Madness sale in April. Other popular downtown events include an art festival, Garden Walk and Scarecrow Contest in June, a craft fair in July, the well-known Chillifest in October and a British-style high tea and Christmas parade in December.
