Planning to visit Pekin City? If that is the case you better add to your activity list some time to enjoy the beauty of the Mineral Springs Park, located close to the "health center" of this land (Pekin Hospital), and check for the Marigold Festival activities. This municipality of 33900 residents shares frontiers with East Peoria, Creve Coeur, Delavan, Morton, Lincoln, and Manito. Today this community is the home of the Pekin Federal Correctional Institution, where bad guys are maintained under control; providing security and stability to this town. With a very rich and strong American Indian influence coming from the ancestries present in this territory back in the 17th century, this land became a silent witness of the creation of the Union League of America during the American Civil War days.
