Allerton Park Monticello Illinois
Built as a private residence in 1900, today Allerton Park and Retreat Center is a historical treasure owned by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The Mansion and Park are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and one of the American Institute of Architects’ 150 Great Places in Illinois. The Park was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1970.
Robert Allerton Park
The Robert Allerton Park is a 1,517-acre park, nature center, and conference center located in Piatt County near Monticello, Illinois on the upper Sangamon River. The park and manor house, The Farms, are attributed to owner Robert Allerton, industrialist heir, artist, art collector and garden designer. Robert and his adopted son John Gregg Allerton donated the complex to the University of Illinois in 1946.

2014 Proposed Budget Presentation - Part 3 - City of Monticello, Illinois 61856
This is part three of the Fiscal Year 2014 Proposed Budget as presented at the February 24, 2014 Monticello Illinois City Council Meeting during the Committee of the Whole Meeting (Study Session).
Notice the new seating arrangement where City employees are positioned with their backs to the public and strategically located to block the view of the City Council (keep in mind that the camera filming this meeting is elevated far above the line of vision of a seated people).
The Mayor still refuses to post any of these three meetings online.
