Metamora is a walkable, historic riverside village centered around a preserved 1845 courthouse with charming Main Street shops, local eateries and easy outdoor options—quiet, friendly, and exactly the kind of cozy, character-filled base that makes multi-week therapy assignments feel like a pleasant extended stay rather than being stuck somewhere dull.
You’re also a short drive from bigger-city amenities: Peoria (about 15–20 miles) for hospitals, dining and entertainment, and Bloomington‑Normal (roughly 35–40 miles) for a regional airport, universities and more cultural options, so weekends and errands are simple to plan.
