==Community Life==
The Perryville community has a number of different cultural influences, though the early Catholic settlers and the German Lutheran migration of the 19th century were by far the strongest--those two churches remain the most prominent among the population. St. Mary's of the Barrens Catholic Church, established in 1818, is on the National Register of Historic Places, as are two private residences.
A major recreational center for the town is the Perry Park Center, which opened in 1999 and includes an aquatics center, a gymnasium, a performing arts center, a movie theater, a library, and sports facilities.<ref>https://www.cityofperryville.com/328/About-Perry-Park-Center</ref> There are two yearly festivals, a Mayfest held each May on the courthouse square, and the St. Vincent de Paul Seminary Picnic, held in August on the fairgrounds of the former seminary.
