Limestone is a quiet, close-knit village where wide-open skies meet convenient access to regional amenities. Just west of the riverfront energy in nearby Kankakee, residents enjoy a laid-back pace with big recreational payoff: miles of trails, fishing, and paddling at the stunning Kankakee River State Park, managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Families appreciate room to spread out, starry nights, and a genuine small-town feel.
Education is a point of pride. Limestone is served by Herscher Community Unit School District 2, known for strong academics, robust extracurriculars, and a supportive community culture. Students progress from Bonfield Grade School to Limestone Middle School and on to Herscher High School, with athletics, FFA, and fine arts anchoring school life. For higher learning, cultural events, and athletics, Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais is a short drive away.
Day-to-day needs are easily met, with shopping and dining options in Bradley and Kankakee. Commuters appreciate quick connections to I-57, while local parks, farmers markets, and seasonal festivals across Kankakee County round out a calendar of low-key fun. Weekends might mean biking wooded paths, cheering on high school games, or catching a performance at the university.
