Eureka, Illinois grew slowly and amicably. In 1841, over sixty pioneer families lived and worked together without the benefit of any sort of government until 1859 when the town was designated as the official seat of Woodford County. Today, the Eureka Greeters will happily offer you a tour of Eureka, Eureka College, and the Reagan Museum. Perhaps, most days you feel equally as hospitable, but lonely days creep up on you occasionally preventing you from feeling friendly and outgoing.

Are you aware that you don’t have to feel funky and disagreeable for so long? Mental health treatment specialists in the Eureka area are just waiting to greet you and help restore peace and harmony back into your life.
