What it’s like
The place. Mossville is a very small community in Peoria County, Illinois, with few residents and a quiet, close-knit feel. Homes here are valued well below what is typical for much of the country. Winters are cold and snowy, summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in manufacturing, professional and business services, and shops. Across Peoria County, some of the largest workplaces are Saint Francis Medical Center, Methodist Medical CTR of Illinois and Bradley University. Unemployment across the county is lower than a year ago, though the number of jobs there has slipped a little.
Things to do. Upper Peoria Lake and the Wheels O' Time Museum are in or beside town, so a walk by the water or an afternoon among the museum's collections needs no real trip. A short drive away are Peoria Lake and the Peoria Zoo. For a longer outing, Jubilee College State Park is a protected area a longer drive away.
