MURAL MUGS AVAILABLE!! The Ottawa Visitors Center is proud to announce that the long awaited Mural Mugs are now available in our souvenir shop, located at 100 West Lafayette Street Ottawa, IL 61350 (the cottage next to the Historic Reddick Mansion). Each mural is represented on a different mug and is accompanied by the murals title, date completed and artist's name.

The Mural Mugs are available at the Ottawa Visitors Center for $10.00 each, plus tax, with all the proceeds going to the Brush with History fund. "These, the Mural Mugs, have been long awaited,"says Justin Hardee, Small-Market Meetings Director for the Ottawa Visitors Center, "since the idea of putting the murals on coffee mugs was first introduced late last year, we have received a lot of positive feedback and calls from people wanting to know when they will be available for purchase."

Also available at the Center is the Lincoln - Douglas Debate Centennial Time Capsule Book. This publication is a compilation of the contents of the 1958 time capsule buried in conjunction with that year's celebration of the Lincoln - Douglas Debates.

The Book is available for $20.00, plus tax, with proceeds going to the Ottawa L-D 150 Time Capsule fund. Books are also available at other locations in Ottawa such as The Book Mouse-820 LaSalle Street, The Ottawa Scouting Museum-1100 Canal and at City Hall-301 West Madison.

The Ottawa Visitors Centers souvenir shop offers a wide array of products from Postcards to Hats, T-Shirts to commemorative medallions and everything in between. Be sure to stop and browse our literature racks. And remember, the Ottawa Visitors Center is your one-stop-shop for FREE local maps and visitor guides!
