About Gardner

Gardner is a quiet Grundy County village along historic Route 66 that offers a relaxed, classic small-town feel. First established as a railroad stop in the 1850s, the town keeps things local with its own elementary and high school districts and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Its location right off Interstate 55 makes it a practical option for anyone looking for affordable housing and open space while staying within an easy drive of Joliet and the greater Chicago area.
