A byproduct of the once-booming railroad industry, Anna is a small Illinois town nestled near the Trail of Tear State Forest. With a population of just over 4,000, this is a tight-knit Illinois community that’s proximate to pristine outdoor destinations. Anna’s Main Street intersects with Vienna Street – another thoroughfare – and houses much of the town’s restaurant and retail offerings. Residents will love the low crime rate and community atmosphere of Anna, and families will love the peaceful vibe of the area. Jonesboro is just west, and U.S. Highway 51 makes it easy to commute to other nearby cities.
