Welcome to Altamont, Illinois! We are your typical small Midwestern town. You can find us half-way between St. Louis and Terre Haute, just off Interstate 70. Hope this site will encourage you to stop and visit if you've never been here, and if you have, I hope I renew some good memories!

Ballard's Nature Center
I still go out to the Nature Center weekly, but I don't want this blog to become "everything Ballard's", so if you are interested, I have an Instagram that is mainly pictures I take on my walks. Check it out if you are interested.

Memorial Day Parade
Altamont was able to hold it's annual Memorial Day parade this year. There was a nice crowd, which was great to see.

Spring Time!
Need out of the house? There are picnic tables by the creek, or up at the visitors' center. Grab the picnic basket and spend a few hours with nature.

Morning Walk
I wish I had a better camera. (It would help if I'd quit dropping them!) But here's a picture of the little fishing pond at Ballard Nature Center.
If you're in the area, I encourage you to explore the trails. And if you can, please toss a few dollars their way. It is such a lovely place and so well maintained.
