Bishop Hill State Historic Site
Bishop Hill was the site of a utopian religious community founded in 1846 by Swedish pietist Eric Janson (1808-1850) and his followers. Many consider the Jansonist emigration as the beginning of Swedish America. Bishop Hill is a National Historic Landmark. The restored village has 5 museums, 3 restaurants, 1 Bed and Breakfast and 20 unique gift shops.
