Reviews
"Great place to begin your Popeye journey into Chester, Illinois. There are a total of 19 statues throughout the town commemorating the Popeye comic strip. There is also a welcome center here and great views of the Mississippi River and banks of the state of Missouri. Nice place for a picnic also."
"While I was staying in Cape Girardeau, a bartender mentioned that Chester Illinois was the home to the man who created Popeye and that there were statues erected all throughout the town of the various Popeye characters. Since I was on a road trip and I love stopping for random things.... I headed right to Chester. Had a great time at the little Popeye museum in town. The woman working was so very informative and helpful. Gave me a map of the statues and told me all about the museum. It was super cool to find all the statues then take pictures. Sort of like a little scavenger hunt.... But it took me almost 2 hours and I definitely didn't plan to spend that much time doing this. Certainly worth checking it out though if you're in town"
"Fun little stop in Chester, Illinois. Pressed penny machine and history of bridge and town inside. Beautiful view."
"It's a nice metal statue, one of the many Popeye statues in the Chester area. This one is right at the welcome center, and you get a good view of the Mississippi River from there as well. So if you're going to chester, stop here and then go find the rest of the statues!"
"Great views of the river and if you are lucky will catch a glimpse of a barge and a train going through town. Fun welcome from Popeye and gang and pick up tips about the village and surrounding area. Restroom has extended hours."
