Metamora pairs a storied courthouse square with everyday conveniences and quick connections to job centers in Peoria and nearby Washington. Historic brick storefronts frame casual cafes and locally owned shops, while tree-lined neighborhoods offer sidewalks, parks, and an easygoing pace that appeals to first-time buyers and long-time residents alike.
History stands front and center at the Metamora Courthouse State Historic Site, where Abraham Lincoln practiced law and where exhibits and programming bring the circuit-rider era to life. Golfers gravitate to the rolling fairways of Metamora Fields Golf Club, a community hub for leagues, dining, and sunset views. Families fill their calendars with youth sports and seasonal festivities at village parks and the bustling community square, and readers tap the Illinois Prairie District Public Library’s Metamora branch for story times, makerspace activities, and book clubs.
Schools are a point of pride. Metamora Township High School supports strong academics, renowned fine arts, and competitive athletics, complementing well-regarded elementary options. Daily needs are covered close to home, with larger retail, dining, and medical choices within a short drive, plus county services and outdoor escapes across Woodford County and cultural events in college-town Eureka.
