Downtown Monticello centers around the Courthouse Square Historic District, home to several unique shops including Prairie Fire Glass Studio and Gallery. Glass artist Jim Downey creates vases, bowls, decorations and jewelry and displays work from other local artists as well. The shop has been closed for regular hours during the pandemic, although Downey does brisk online sales. But you can make an appointment to shop in person and watch a glass-blowing demonstration by calling 217-762-3332. Downtown hosts a small farmers market on Thursday afternoons during garden season, a local bookstore, an unusual Polish pottery shop and several restaurants. One of those, the Brown Bag Deli, has been around for 40 years and offers soups, sandwiches and pies. A few blocks south, the Monarch Brewing Company took over an old church building and serves craft beers, other liquor and food. You also can grab some treats for your dog at Bruno’s Bakery and stock up on lures at Jay-Diz Fishing. North of downtown is Millionaire Row, a several-block stretch of tree-lined North State Street with large, well-kept homes worthy of a city bigger than 6,000-resident Monticello.
