I just remembered my old fraternity at NIU, Delta Sigma Phi, used to have an annual spring party out at White Pines, but we weren't too interested in the historic aspects of the place, just whether we'd run out of imbibing drinks.
McKINLEY WOODS in Chinnahon, part of Will County Forest Preserve has an open-sided picnic shelter with a huge fireplace. Just beyond it is the Illinois & Michigan Canal which Brotman describes as "too peaceful for words," but not if the Delta Sigs are having a party out there. She says you can walk sixty miles alongside it.
This canal was one reason Chicago grew to be such a big city despite the fact that it was soon surpassed by the railroad.
