The village of Wilmette, Illinois takes you back to a time when the little shops were friendly and carried interesting merchandise and catered to you with the service that is so hard to find in today's world.  Modern day Wilmette has all the appeal of small town America with the big city right at your feet. 

Wilmette is nestled north of Chicago on the shores  of Lake Michigan.    We are adjacent to Evanston, Illinois, home of Northwestern University on the south.  Our neighbors to the north are Kenilworth and Winnetka.  Boarding our west is Glenview. 

We have everything here, including great restaurants, specialty shops and most importantly, people who care about their village.  Shop at the Wilmette Village Center.  They are truly great little shops!

Whether you're a Wilmette resident, a neighbor or just discovering Wilmette for the first time, thank you for visiting us!  We're glad you're here.
