Washburn's Mayor is a dedicated dynamic leader who has positive plans and definite goals for the village.  She has not only dealt with the day-to-day business, but has gone beyond this to pursue new directions for our town.

The village web site, established to communicate the positive values of life in Washburn to our community and the world at large, is but one of the forward-looking ideas that she has made a reality. Her work is laying a strong foundation for the Village of Washburn in the 21st century.

Message From Your  Water Department

Whether you are a new resident of Washburn, considering moving, or just visiting on-line, I want to welcome you to our community.

Washburn offers a low crime rate, affordable housing, virtually no traffic problems and a satisfying quality of life.

 Moving here was one of the most productive, enriching and satisfying things I have ever done for myself and my family.

Washburn is a progressive community that believes in preserving family values, while having the vision of a city with a future.  We are an easy forty-minute drive to Peoria, Bloomington and LaSalle/Peru.

Please take the time to view our community resource page to see all we have to offer.  

For some people, it is a childhood memory of a simpler time, for others, a desire for stress-free living.  If you are considering small town life, I hope Washburn is  the community you choose.
