Monticello Main Street, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 by concerned local volunteers dedicated to historic preservation and strengthening our community's economic growth. The main area of concentration is in the downtown business district and the extended fringe area of Monticello's downtown.  We assist businesses that are starting or considering opening in our downtown.  We support existing businesses and building owners with resources.  We facilitate and supplement better design planning in our downtown to improve the experience for our visitors and community members.  We ensure historic preservation of our downtown structures stays at the forefront of our downtown planning and provide needed resources for business and building owners.

Monticello Main Street also plans several events throughout the year to highlight our unique downtown.  In 2025, you can expect us to operate a Galantine's event, support a regional shopping event and Piatt County Antique Day in March, Whites of Spring, several Music events, and Reds of Christmas.   Each year, we also host the Monticello Farmers' Market on Thursday afternoon May-October!

Our partners allow us to help our downtown business owners and building owners!  We certainly hope you will consider becoming a partner to help us continue our downtown support.
