Once a year, households across Sherman hold garage sales at the same time. The Sherman Village-Wide Fall Garage Sales is a village-wide event in Sherman, Illinois (Sangamon County, just north of Springfield): sellers post their own address, hours, and items on the village's own community map. In 2026 it runs September 18-19.
This year's map has 59 participating addresses, loosely grouped by subdivision — Birch Lakes and the neighborhoods around it carry a lot of this year's listings. Hours vary a lot from house to house: some sales are Saturday-morning-only, others run Friday afternoon through Saturday, so checking before you go matters here.

Strategy — check hours first, then cluster by subdivision
With hours varying this much from house to house, the plan starts before you leave the house.
- Check each listing's hours before you go. A Saturday-morning-only sale is a wasted stop if you show up Saturday afternoon.
- Cluster by subdivision. A lot of this year's listings sit around Birch Lakes — work that pocket together before moving to the scattered addresses elsewhere in the village.
With hours this varied, the plan starts before you leave the house — check who's actually open, then cluster by subdivision once you're out.
What you'll find
Sherman is a settled Sangamon County village, and this year's list turns over a lot of everyday household goods. Clothing across every size and age is everywhere on this list — women's, men's, kids', and toddler sizes show up in nearly every listing, alongside toys and books.
Furniture, home decor, and kitchenware come out in volume too, with electronics, outdoor gear, and the occasional automotive item mixed in.
Pro tips
- Check hours before you go. Several sales in Sherman run limited windows — Saturday morning only, or a single afternoon.
- Cluster by subdivision. Work the Birch Lakes pocket together, then the rest of the village.
- Bring small bills. These are front-yard sellers, not shops — cash, and plenty of singles and fives, keeps things moving.
- Keep the map on your phone. The live map here keeps the full participating-address list in your pocket as you drive the loop.
