Event information
Welcome to Millstadt, Illinois! Walk under the watchful eye of the "Old Tin Man" water tower in Millstadt. The "Tin Man" is closely connected with the identity of Millstadt since the 1930's and is one of the few remaining hemispherical bottom and conical roof water towers in Illinois. It is visible from many vantage points in the village. The village is known for its German heritage, with more than half of its approximately 4,000 people of German descent. There are three 5k walks. A walk from Millstadt Park through the historic village of Millstadt, a walk from the Millstadt Park to the Millstadt Nature Park, and a health walk at the Millstadt Park of three loops around the park. On the walk through Millstadt you will see many of the well-preserved 19th century brick buildings which were built by the original settlers from Germany. Much of the charm and character of the village is traceable to this heritage. On the Nature Trail walk there are walking trails that include a paved trail and a wood chip trail. There are many different trees with signs documenting some of the different species. The health trail three times around the park will take you past two Millstadt schools, the Millstadt pool, tennis courts, and ball fields. Be sure to look for painted rocks hidden regularly by a group in Millstadt as well as thought-provoking chalk writings on the trail.
