Welcome to the
Village of Gardner

A proud Illinois community

Gardner is a welcoming, family-focused community of about 1,300 hard-working and honest residents. Founded at a historic railroad junction, our town thrived during the coal boom and continues to grow and adapt today. Despite the many changes over the years, Gardner proudly blends modern innovation with an old-fashioned sense of community that so many people long for. With opportunities in the coal, gas, agriculture, and manufacturing industries, along with affordable housing and a strong local spirit, Gardner is an ideal place for families looking to find a hometown of their own.
