Rossville, Illinois

Rossville is a village in Ross Township, Vermilion County, Illinois, United States.

In 1838, Alvan Gilbert purchased the Liggett farm, and the following year he became postmaster at the newly established post office.

In February 2004, a fire broke out in the downtown business district and destroyed several of the historic buildings and antique shops for which Rossville has been known.

South of Rossville are Historic Mann's Chapel (1857) and an original State Road Mile Marker from 1833.

These include; Free A-Train week in September, Drivin' The Dixie Days in June, and Christmas in the Village on the first weekend in December.

Rossville has hosted an annual truck and tractor pull event nine years running.

[10] The tractor pull draws crowds and helps raise funds for FFA scholarships.
