Olde Towne Historic District is a neighborhood located in the heart of Peoria, Illinois. The district covers a 150-acre area and is home to over 700 buildings that date back to the 1800s. The neighborhood's architecture is a mix of Italianate, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival styles, demonstrating the evolution of design over the decades.

The neighborhood was once a bustling commercial center during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but fell into decline after World War II. In the 1970s, the community began to restore the district's historic buildings, and today Olde Towne is a vibrant and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with a mix of commercial and residential properties. The area is home to several locally-owned businesses, including restaurants, shops, and cultural institutions such as the Peoria Riverfront Museum.

One of the district's main attractions is the Peoria Riverfront, which features a scenic riverwalk, a marina, and the Caterpillar Visitors Center. The neighborhood is also home to several parks and green spaces, including the Grand View Drive Scenic Park, which offers breathtaking views of the Illinois River Valley.
