Farming community offers respite from Chicago hustle and bustle
Since its establishment in the 1830s, the small village of Lisbon, Illinois has maintained its quiet and slow-living vibe.

The area is occupied mainly by farmers and folks who work in the nearby towns of Yorkville, Morris and Minooka who have decided to trade in a short commute for wide open spaces and peaceful lanes.
