Where History Meets the River
For generations, the Mississippi River has shaped Alton’s fortunes, its working waterfront, and the stories people tell about the town. The river brought opportunity—but also danger, hardship, and dramatic change.
Our upcoming Haunted Alton Halloween special begins with the river and the history behind the town’s enduring reputation for mystery.
Join us beginning October 26 on Echoes of America. We’ll explore documented events and local legends with a vintage historical-magazine touch.
