Hartford, Illinois, is a village steeped in history, with landmarks commemorating the early 1800s Lewis and Clark expedition and native son Clint Walker. The community of 1,200 residents is proud of its heritage, showcased by the 180-foot concrete tower and the Hartford room in the local library. The village, established in 1920, features homes primarily built in the early decades of settlement, with national and minimal traditional styles that are simple and adaptable for renovations. Homebuyers face limited inventory, with houses selling slower than the national average. Hartford Elementary School and Lewis & Clark Junior High School in nearby Wood River are highly rated, contributing to the village's appeal for families. Dining options include RJ’s Place, known for its unique "shoe" dish, while Farm Fresh in Wood River provides grocery shopping. Hartford's attractions include the newly added Hartford Splashpark at 7th Street Park, which offers geysers and sprinklers for summer fun, and various sports courts and fields. The Fall Fun Fest in October brings food trucks, beer tents, and inflatables to the park. The village is well-traveled, with Midwest Motor Sports benefiting from increased traffic along Highway 3. Hartford is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for potential homebuyers.
