“stroll among the oldest buildings still standing in Illinois”
Stroll among one of the oldest buildings still standing in Illinois. Experience a great stone fort built in 1753, complete with bastions and gatehouse, musket ports, cannon embrasures, guard’s house and king’s storehouse. The storehouse is home to the fort’s museum and research library.
Supposedly haunted by a phantom funeral procession of horse-drawn carriages that are sometimes seen/heard at night!
