Willard is located in northwestern Greene County and forms part of the Springfield metropolitan area, home to more than 480,000 residents. Just five miles north of Interstate 44, Willard offers the charm, safety, and connection of a small community with immediate access to the region’s full range of amenities; recreation, dining, education, health care, and entertainment.

Agriculture, aggregate stone production, and an outstanding public school system anchor Willard’s local economy and help define the character of the community. The Frisco Highline Trail, one of the signature corridors in the Ozarks Greenways’ 200-plus mile regional trail system, runs directly through central Willard and provides a treasured recreational asset for residents and visitors.

Willard combines small-town quality of life with metropolitan convenience. There’s something here for everyone, and we are a city on the move, come experience it for yourself.
