About Troy Grove

Troy Grove is a quiet village in northwestern LaSalle County, surrounded by open farmland and the winding Little Vermilion River. Life here is peaceful and slow-paced, making it an appealing spot for anyone looking for rural privacy without being completely cut off.

The community is best known as the birthplace of Old West icon James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok, a heritage celebrated at the local park's historic memorial. Today, the village offers a relaxed atmosphere defined by quiet residential streets, wide-open skies, and close proximity to outdoor recreation. It is an ideal fit for buyers seeking affordable, small-town living within an easy commute of Interstate 39 and the larger job centers in Peru and LaSalle.
