Discovering the history of Joliet is the perfect way to learn
how such a big city began. A great place to start is by
strolling down Bluff Street in Billie Limacher Bicentennial
Park. As Joliet’s first street, Bluff runs along Joliet’s river
walk and preserves the city’s rich history of steel, stone and
industry. Large boulders mark the locations of a number
of the city’s first homes and businesses, with plaques and
descriptions that line the bluff. Learn about Thomas Reed
