Experience the best in western Illinois

Wide open spaces, exciting places

Imagine a place with two downtowns and no traffic. A small town that’s a popular antiquing retreat for big-city folks. An area famous for its pastoral Red Covered Bridge, but with easy access to the big-city lights.

Welcome to Princeton.

With a population of 7,600, Princeton is the seat of Bureau County, which is ranked among the top 25 rural areas in the United States. Located on Interstate 80, a.k.a. “America’s Main Street,” Princeton is just an hour away from Peoria and the Quad Cities, two hours from Chicago. It’s also on an Amtrak line.
