Historical Kankakee, IL

The county seat of Kankakee is also a major Center for commerce, education, culture, and healthcare for Kankakee County residents. Blending rural and suburban influences, the city features the natural beauty of the Kankakee River as it meanders through the community to form a scenic backdrop for daily life and recreation. The Kankakee Valley Symphony Orchestra, Kankakee Valley Theatre, the Kankakee County Historical and Art Museum, the Riverview Historic District, Kankakee Community College, and impressive regional healthcare centers are a few of the unique amenities that give the city its unique vitality. Concerts in the park and Lunch on the Square add a hometown flavor, bringing friends and neighbors together frequently. The city is well-known for its grand architecture and historic preservation, crowned by the 1912 courthouse with a dome mural depicting scenes of local history and the Downtown Historic Church Walking Tour. Kankakee is also proud to be the historic home of the original "Dairy Queen" that was founded by Sherb Noble.
