About Arthur

Arthur is a quiet village of about 2,200 people tucked into the farmland of east-central Illinois. It is best known as the hub of the state’s oldest Amish community, giving daily life here a relaxed, traditional rhythm. The center of town revolves around Vine Street, where locally owned bakeries, diners, and shops create an easygoing, walkable downtown surrounded by open prairie.

Living here offers a peaceful, close-knit environment where neighbors genuinely look out for one another. Just beyond the village limits, quiet country roads wind past family-run farms, horse-drawn buggies, and custom woodworking shops. With strong local schools, safe residential streets, and deep community roots, Arthur is a great fit for anyone seeking a friendly, slower-paced hometown.
