With a scenic location alongside the Kaskaskia River, the City of Shelbyville, Illinois, is a wonderful place to buy a home in Shelby County, where the city serves as the county seat. Home to nearly five thousand people, this charming small town is home to the county’s only hospital, HSHS Good Shepherd Hospital, and the Chautauqua Auditorium. One of the community’s claims to fame is being home to the inventor of the first mechanical dishwasher, Josephine Garis Cochran, who built the machine in 1886. Shelbyville was also the site of the design and development of the first commercial pick-up baler which resulted in the city being designated as a historic agricultural engineering landmark by The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.
Beyond its natural beauty and rich heritage and history, Shelbyville has much to offer prospective homebuyers. Comprising just over four square miles, Shelbyville encompasses Lake Shelbyville, which was created by the damming of the Kaskaskia River where it breaches the terminal moraine of the Wisconsin Glacier, known locally as the Shelbyville Moraine. The dam was completed in 1970 and presently, there are weekend tours available. Among the many advantageous features of Lake Shelbyville, it is home to more than fifty miles of public multi-purpose trails and opportunities for biking, hiking, picnicking, camping, boating, swimming, and many other recreational activities.
