About Atlanta

Set along historic Route 66 in Logan County, Atlanta offers a friendly, quiet pace of life with plenty of classic Americana charm. Most people recognize the town from miles away by its bright yellow smiley-face water tower, but life on the ground revolves around a tight-knit community, restored brick streets, and beloved local spots like the vintage Palms Grill Cafe. It is an easygoing place to put down roots, especially for anyone looking for small-town comfort with a quick commute to Bloomington-Normal or Springfield.
