Williamson County
Home to Herrin, Carterville, Johnston City and our county seat of Marion, Williamson County is where Interstates 24, 57 and Illinois Route 13 intersect. While we can’t quite prove Marion’s claim as the “Hub of the Universe” we’re definitely the “Hub” for Southern Illinois with the largest collection of shopping, lodging, wineries and eating establishments in the region. Williamson County is also home to some amazing hunting and fishing opportunities.
Whether you're looking to visit some of our attractions or the major sites around the region such as the new World Shooting Complex at Sparta, the American Quilter’s Society Museum in Paducah, nearby Southern Illinois University, the scenic beauty of the area or to simply sample the tastes of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, let us serve you.
