After
your visit to Weaver's Cottage you must visit some of the other attractions
in southern Illinois.
This area is rich in beautiful natural attractions such as Giant City
State Park, Garden of the Gods and Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge, which
is just minutes from the cottage.

If you are looking for more arts and crafts, the newly established Art Trail of Southern Illinois will be well worth a visit. Stops on the trail include area art galleries, restaurants with art displays and other local art related attractions. You may even see some of my weavings on your travels! Maps for the trail are available at the cottage.
There are plenty of great shops and restaurants all around the region, and I will be happy to share some of my favorites with you when you visit. Follow the links below for more information on the arts and tourism and be sure to enjoy all that southern Illinois has to offer!
