Welcome to Breese, Illinois!

The citizens of Breese and I wish to welcome you to our website.

We have a motto, "PROUD OF OUR PAST, PLANNING FOR OUR FUTURE."  Breese was named after Sidney Breese, one of the longest serving Chief Justices of the Illinois Supreme Court.  The Breese Historical Park, the renovated Avon Theater, our churches, and our schools point to that PRIDE IN OUR PAST.

We have PLANNED FOR OUR FUTURE by upgrading electric, water, sewer and road infrastructure.  The private sector has provided a modern healthcare system, successful small businesses and have supported the growth of quality schools (public & private) that fit every child's needs.  Our Breese organizations provide provide a way to make new friends and become involved in the community.  These organizations, working with business and city government, have worked together to provide a high quality life with small town values.

Please contact me with your questions.        Charlie Hilmes. Mayor of Breese
