Paxton Main Street

Paxton Main Street Paxton Main Street invites you to explore the unique shops, food and history in our charming downtown. Variety awaits in this quaint Midwest town.

Paxton Main Street is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to enhance and promote the businesses, history and happenings in our rural town in East Central Illinois. Paxton, Illinois sits prominently positioned to welcome visitors and businesses along I-57 between Chicago & Champaign-Urbana. Travelers enjoy touring this Tree City USA, occasionally spotting original brick streets, as they take

in the historic homes, buildings and railroad cut. Longtime businesses like Hudson Drug Shop (so much more than a pharmacy!) and the Arcade Cafe anchor an expanding downtown that features unique shops, restaurants and convenient services. Paxton hosts numerous seasonal special events including Draggin' Main Car Cruise, 4th of July at Pells Park, Swine n Dine BBQ & Festival, Wine & Chocolate Walk, Paxton's Fall Gathering, Paxton Christmas Tree Lighting & Parade and more that highlight the festive nature of our community. We invite you and your family to join us because... "Paxton Is The Place To Be"!
