The McHenry County Historical Society and author Robert W. Frenz are proud to announce the publication of Historic Country Schools of McHenry County, Illinois.
McHenry County, Illinois, located northwest of Chicago has been growing at a huge rate the last ten years as Chicago continues its march out to the country. Farms are fast disappearing and the population is exploding. The rural character of the county is fast disappearing.
Author Robert W. Frenz has put together a book to tell the tale of the some 140 one and two room school houses that existed here a hundred years ago. Quite a few of these schools still remain standing, some as homes and others as offices. "These buildings are a direct and visible link to an earlier and simpler time in our county's history."
You can order a copy from the McHenry County Historical Society for $34.95.

Looks Like a Great Trip Down Memory Lane. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
