Mount Clare offers a quiet, close-knit pace with easy access to everyday essentials and weekend adventures. Tucked between Gillespie and Benld, it sits in the heart of Macoupin County, where coal country history, Route 66 nostalgia, and rolling farmland intersect. Commuters appreciate quick connections to the amenities in Litchfield and Staunton, while staying grounded in a community where neighbors still wave hello and local school events anchor the calendar.
Families are served by Gillespie Community Unit School District 7, with academics, athletics, and arts coordinated through the district’s comprehensive programs and calendars on the Gillespie CUSD 7 website. Outdoor time is a breeze at Gillespie Lake, a local favorite for boating, fishing, trails, and seasonal camping. History buffs can trace the region’s story at the Illinois Coal Museum at Gillespie or dive into Mother Road lore at the Litchfield Museum & Route 66 Welcome Center. Day-to-day services and community happenings are easy to track via the City of Gillespie and Village of Benld sites, while county-level resources—from permits to public records—are centralized through Macoupin County.
