Located in the heartland of the United States, the Quincy area abounds with natural resources and agricultural attractions. Attend a county fair and see (and taste) for yourself what blue ribbon strawberry jam really is. Visit in early June and pick your own strawberries from one of our pick-your-own farms. Take a driving tour of area historic barns and end up at one of our award-winning wineries for an evening wine tasting. Spend your weekend on a guided hunting tour in one of the best hunting regions in the Midwest. The Quincy area will bring you back to nature–where you’ll be sure to see the unexpected.
