New Windsor blends small-town ease with the kind of traditions that anchor a community. Each August, the New Windsor Fair, Rodeo and Horse Show gallops into town with parades, rodeo action, and old-fashioned fun. Set amid the fields of Mercer County, it’s an easy country drive to everyday essentials in Aledo, collegiate culture and dining in Galesburg, and big-city amenities in Moline.
Families appreciate access to Sherrard CUSD 200, known for strong academics, spirited extracurriculars, and a tight-knit school community serving area towns like Sherrard. Book lovers and lifelong learners have a nearby resource in the Sherrard Public Library District, with programming for all ages.
Weekends invite exploration: bike, hike, or paddle along the tree-lined waters of the Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park, or step into 19th‑century Swedish-Americana at the Bishop Hill State Historic Site. For flights and broader retail, the Quad City International Airport and the Quad Cities metro are within comfortable reach. Considering upskilling or finishing a degree? Black Hawk College offers convenient programs and workforce training close by.
