Broughton, IL

Broughton is a tiny, peaceful village in southern Illinois with fewer than two hundred residents. Tucked into the quiet farmland of Hamilton County, it offers a slow-paced, close-knit rural lifestyle where neighbors know each other and wide-open spaces are part of daily life. Illinois Route 142 runs right through the center of town, making it easy to run errands or commute. You are only about a twelve-mile drive north to the county seat in McLeansboro for everyday essentials, or nine miles south to neighboring Eldorado. For anyone looking to escape the noise and settle into simple country living, Broughton provides plenty of peace and quiet.
