Perryville is the home of the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal with its four museums, restored sanctuary and grotto, the Perry County Museum (Doerr House), the restored Faherty House built in 1831, and the historic and picturesque Perry County Court house, built in 1904.

In fact, the entire downtown Perryville area has been renovated as part of a beautification project.  The Square, the center of Perryville's downtown business district, has been transformed into a showplace with decorative sidewalks, "Washington" style light fixtures and decorative tree plantings.  The center of The Square features the Perry County Court House with its chiming clock tower.  New brick paved plazas, landscaped seating areas, park benches, a sundial, a drinking fountain, a directional marker and a gazebo have been added to the court house lawn.  The Square is a true example of Perryville Pride and certainly conveys the correct impression that Perryville is a "progressive, charming, clean, and friendly community" in which to live and work."

Perryville offers tree lined boulevards, a place to watch the seasons change in all their splendor and the opportunity to relax and breathe the clean air.  It is a community of honest, friendly people, a place to get to know your neighbors.  Perryville's pleasant atmosphere, excellent schools, medical facilities, shopping opportunities and progressive, growing base of local business and industry make it a natural choice for anyone who appreciates the many advantages of life in a smaller community.
