Ballard was a small village located between Chenoa and Lexington, Illinois, on the Union Pacific railroad.

History

At one point in time, Ballard had a decent population with a few businesses and homes. The last remaining marker of the settlement was the Graham and Bennion Elevator, better known to locals simply as "the Ballard elevator". The roughly 80-foot structure was demolished in 2006.^[1]
