Main Street Monroe’s got it going on – eclectic shopping options, engaging attractions, and fun stops to refuel – all packaged into a vibrant, walkable downtown district. More than thirty shops are located within a several-block vicinity surrounding the Courthouse Square. All businesses are locally owned by entrepreneurs who bring their own style to life with unique offerings and personalized service.

Here are a few to check out: Heartland Graphics – get your “cheesemaker gear” here – the perfect stop for a souvenir t-shirt to commemorate your visit, as well as custom embroidery and screen printing (one block southeast of the Square – look for the red awning).
