I have already mentioned that most every north-south road in Spring Grove, upon crossing US-12, has a different name. However, the one I started out on, Meyer Road, changes its name to Blivin St. for a real short distance and when it crosses Main Street, where the Grove bar/restaurant is located, it changes names again, this time to Richardson Road, a name it keep all the way to Illinois Highway 173, up near the Wisconsin border.
On Richardson Road, you pass several farms and subdivisions as well as you can see the Richardson Adventure Farm off in the distance to the east. This is a family that has been here a long time and for whom the road here is named. This is a huge tourist attraction in the area, especially in the fall when they have all sorts of stuff going on and claim to have the world's biggest corn maze.
In August they will be having a sunflower festival. Better not tell my little birdies that hang out be the feeders around the house about this as they absolutely love sunflower seeds as to my squirrels.
Today, I decided to turn on English Prairie Road instead of going all the way north to 173. Spring Grove and Johnsburg were settled by a lot of German people, but a lot of English people settled around this area. You will go right by the entrance to Richardson Adventure Farm on this road.
