About Bone Gap
Tucked into Edwards County about seven miles northeast of Albion, Bone Gap is a quiet, friendly village surrounded by open southern Illinois farmland. The unique name comes from an early clearing in the timber where pioneers found animal bones, and the community originally grew up as a 19th-century settlement known as Yankeetown. Today, life here is calm and unhurried. With Route 130 running just past town, residents enjoy wide-open rural space along with a quick, easy drive into Albion for shops, schools, and everyday services.
