Life in Long Grove.
Long Grove keeps a country look on purpose: its building rules leave out sidewalks, fences and residential streetlights. Its historic downtown of shops in older buildings sits beside the 1906 Robert Parker Coffin covered bridge, and it hosts the village's chocolate, strawberry and apple festivals.
Reed-Turner Woodland is a village nature preserve known for spring wildflowers, and Buffalo Creek and Heron Creek forest preserves have trails on either side of town.
