Taylorville is a great place to visit whether you are a cyber-visitor, a tourist, a potential resident or a prospective business or entrepreneur. Taylorville has the conveniences of a larger city, yet has a nice historic downtown area, many tree-lined brick streets, quaint neighborhoods, expanding commercial and industrial developments, great schools, and friendly citizens.
