What it’s like
The place. Annawan is a small town in Henry County, Illinois, where most homes are lived in by their owners, well above the share you would find in many places. Incomes run a little below the county's, and typical home values are modest. Winters are cold and snowy, and summers turn properly warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops and the building trades close behind. Among the largest workplaces in Annawan are CHS, an ethyl alcohol manufacturer, the Annawan school district, and Birkey's, which deals in agricultural harvesting machinery and equipment. A typical commute is a fairly short drive, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Johnson-Sauk Trail State Recreation Area, a protected area, and Mud Creek, a river, are both a short drive away. For a longer outing, Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park offers more protected land to explore, and the Ryan Round Barn is a museum.
