"Known as the “Cross Roads of Mercer County”
"Entwined about the intersection of U.S. Rte. 67 and IL Hwy. 17, the Village of Viola is truly at the cross roads of Mercer County.
"The idyllic appearance of this rural village with its tree lined streets, belies it easy accessibility to the population centers of Monmouth, Galesburg, Kewanee, Aledo, Muscatine and the Quad Cities.
"But why would one wish to become a member of this village of 950 happy souls and a few soreheads? Let us count the ways:
• Good schools that are close by.
• Housing to fit any price range
• Active businesses
• Wide choice of churches
• Full range of village services, infrastructure and an industrial park
• 150 years in the making and more history to be made.
"Take a look at our village, or better yet come visit us at the CrossRoads." ~ Village of Viola
