When looking for quiet and serene, you will find Forrest, Illinois.
Forrest was laid out on December 11, 1866, by Israel J. Krack. He was briefly a teacher, lived in Indiana, and came to Livingston County in 1854. Krack was a farmer, notary public, grain dealer, and in later life an insurance agent. Krack was elected to the Illinois General Assembly in 1872 and became treasurer of Livingston County in 1878. He was a very busy founding father!
The first version of the town name was said to be "Forestville", spelled with one "r", but the "Forrest" spelling quickly came into use. Forrest Township was created soon after the village was founded and took its name from the founding village.
Success came when the Wabash Railroad was constructed through Forrest in 1880. On May 1 of that year, the first train on the Wabash passed through Forrest. The village became an important stopping place on the Wabash line linking Chicago and Kansas City and boomed.
In the Railroad Park at Forrest are several important railroad-related remains to this day. A surviving railroad turntable is still located here.
The park also contains the former Wabash Railroad station and a restored Norfolk & Western Railroad caboose. The Wabash Railroad station is now a museum, and contains a scale model of the town as it was in its railroad heyday. The model includes a fully functional turntable and electric railroad track.
This is what SERVPRO does. We work with our communities to keep things moving, “Like it never even happened”.
SERVPRO knows that storms are strong in central Illinois and lead to water damage at all levels. It doesn’t matter if you are in a small town-we have your back.
Working with our rural Volunteer Fire Departments is important to us as well.
This is helpful for the training and the equipment for those departments, but also so they know who to call when one of their own is affected by fire.
Knowing who to call for fire restoration helps to take a lot of pressure off of the firefighters caring for their communities.
SERVPRO has your back!

What our Forrest
customers are saying
We had a surprise when a man broke a window and then a security door and was cut so badly that the amount of blood was strung from one end of the building to the other. Not to mention all of the broken glass. How does one clean that up and disinfect it? You call Wiley Hasty and Sara Blair from SERVPRO. They didn't stop! They worked continuously on a much bigger mess than they were expecting. Never complaining. Very professional. Would definitely hire those two again.
Great service, great people they employ, highly recommend...Bloomington/Normal and areas they service.
SERVPRO recently restored a basement room that had water damage. The room looks better than it did before the damage! Michael, AJ, and the entire SERVPRO team did an outstanding job and were so easy to work with! I highly recommend their services!
I was impressed by the on-site personnel that completed the services.
Well explained! We appreciated all the safety precautions taken and the great job cleaning!
We had a water issue inside of our house that caused our first floor and basement to have water. Our kitchen was soaking wet ie cabinets, to the flooring everything was wet. We called SERVPRO to come out and help. They did exactly that. From the moment they got here ( middle of February till now) they have helped us understand what happened, worked with my husband and me with insurance, and helped us get our house back in working order. They were very understanding of our situation and everyone that has been out here is a top-notch person. Ryan was wonderful at helping walk us through the process and making sure we understood everything. (Keeping the wheels on the bus). The guys that did the tare out Anthony and Keegan were awesome. Anthony was super busy but always made us feel important and like we were the only ones he was helping. His workmanship is great. Always quick to respond and made sure to keep us informed as to what was going on. Then we finally got started with the remodeling/reconstruction process and I didn’t know things could get even better, but they did. We are working with Michael and AJ. They have been outstanding!! Their communication from day one letting me know they were coming to hey come to take a look at this or that is top-notch. AJ and Michael KNOW what they are doing. The house is really coming along and they are doing a wonderful job. They have also been great in answering my many questions. Something that I would like to say about all the guys that have been out here. They clean up as they go!!! Would definitely recommend SERVPRO of Bloomington!!!
