Welcome to the Village of Sherman, Illinois Web Site. Sherman is a growing community with a strong background on
family values. We are located 5 miles north of Springfield, which is the state capitol of Illinois. Our Village is
close to major shopping facilities and is the northern gateway to the many Abraham Lincoln sites, including the new
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library, Lincoln’s Home and Lincoln’s Tomb.
Our community is governed by a Village President and six Village Trustees elected at large. We are proud to state that
among other services Sherman provides 24 hours, 7 days a week police service.
Sherman’s residential development is planned to create a park like setting with spacious lots and open green space.
We welcome you to visit our community and experience for yourself what we have to offer. We encourage you to consider
Sherman as a place to live and raise a family in this safe and beautiful environment. We also encourage business to
consider Sherman as a place to locate where we have prime commercial land available with immediate access to and from
Interstate 55 in addition to our highly competitive financial incentive program.
