About Mineral

Mineral is a small, quiet village in western Bureau County with a population of around two hundred people. The community got its name from early coal mining in the 1800s, but today it is a peaceful spot surrounded by open farmland. Daily life here is slow and unhurried, making it appealing for anyone looking for wide-open space and a tight-knit country feel. Most residents head to nearby towns like Sheffield or Annawan for groceries and services, returning home to quiet streets and plenty of room to unwind.
