The home of the Hickory Hills Chapter of the Illinois Audubon Society is located on
H & B Bremer Sanctuary, about a mile north of Hillsboro, about 50 miles south of Springfield, in Montgomery County. It was given to the Illinois Audubon Society in 1977 by Helen and Betty Bremer, who wished to preserve the farm which had been in their family since 1857. They wanted to be sure the farm, would not be sub-divided or developed, and that it would be managed as a wildlife sanctuary..
