THE COMMUNITY: Galesburg, IL

It is also only a 45-minute commute down the highway from the larger Peoria, IL metro area (pop. ~300,000) giving you options for a variety of suburban, urban, or rural lifestyles to suit your needs.
• First settled in 1836, Galesburg has a rich legacy of contributions to the nation’s history. The first anti-slavery society in Illinois was founded here, Knox College was a site for one of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, and Galesburg was home to the great author and Abraham Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg.
• Galesburg is a center of activity for residents of west-central Illinois. It’s also conveniently located on an Amtrak line, with easy access via Interstate 74 to two international airports and more in Peoria and the Quad Cities.
• The west-central Illinois region also offers high quality of life with a lower cost of living, strong community school systems, an array of higher education choices and a host of fine parks, historic sites and big-time small-town festivals.
