The Village of Collinston is home to many attractions and economic pursuits, some of which have attained national acclaim.

There's a 37 acre site at Collinston called "Kalorama," which was the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Reilly, who manufactured and distributed Luzianne Coffee and Tea.  Luzianne Coffee and Tea are still being produced, as well as Blue Plate products, and several other teas and specialty products. 

The property at Kalorama remains for the most part, untouched and provides an excellent opportunity to explore wildlife in its natural habitat.  Birdwatchers, botanists, and nature enthusiasts may visit by appointment.

Farming is the prevalent industry providing an agricultural backdrop of row crops and open space that enhance the charm of the Collinston area.  

The Collinston Museum will resume opening each Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., and other tours in the area can be arranged by calling 318-874-2266 during museum hours or by calling Collinston City Hall at 318-874-2631.  The museum exhibits highlight the rich history of the area and include railroad related items.  The original jail cell has been preserved in the building.
