Whether you want to find something fun and new to do this weekend, or have friends in town who want to get to know the local area, we have some great ideas for you. Check out Crown Nissan's list of four popular Decatur attractions.
Haunted Decatur Tours
During these three- to four-hour tours, you'll hear spine-tingling ghost stories and learn fascinating facts about the dark side of Decatur's early days back in the late 19th century. You'll experience the city like never before as you're taken to former gambling parlors, haunted theaters and sites of death where unsolved murders occurred. Even for those who don't believe in ghosts, Haunted Decatur Tours are still a unique way to learn about our city's interesting transformation during the post Civil War era.
Monticello Railway Museum
All aboard! Located just a short drive from Decatur, the Monticello Railway Museum offers fun train rides from May through October of every year, as well as several museum displays where you can learn about the history of trains and check out artifacts. Take a ride this Father's Day weekend (dads ride free with paid companion) or buy tickets for the Fireworks Special on July 3, which includes a ride from downtown Monticello to the local Independence Day fireworks show and back!
Mari-Mann Herb Farm
At Mari-Mann Herb Farm, visitors can book tours of one of the most expansive herb gardens in the Midwest, make reservations for brunch or high tea, or just go to explore the farm's health food store and greenhouse. There's also a gift shop where you can find fresh seasonings, delicious herbal sauces, fragrant oils, a variety of homeopathic products and other goodies on sale.
Main Hangar Comedy Hour
Main Hangar is not only one of the area's most popular restaurants; it's also one of the hottest spots to go check out some of the best local and national stand-up comedians. Prices are only $10 per person and shows take place most weekends. Coming up this month, Main Hangar will host comedians Nate Weatherup and Robert Hines.
