FL/GT Historical Society January Meeting 2014-- Part 1: General Information

The Fox Lake/Grant Township Historical Society had their monthly meeting January 18, 2014 at the museum on Washington Street in Ingleside, Illinois. //// A total of 970 people visited the museum in 2013. Not a huge number, but not bad considering it is closed for two months and only open the 1st and 3rd Sundays the other ten months for three hours. //// The museum purchased a power point projector and are changing displays. //// The third grade classes from the local schools visited. //// This winter has been rough on our 125-year-old building with several additions. The vortex froze the pipes causing some damage. //// A presentation was to be made at the Fox Lake Library on the old Dollar Lake at Rollins Road and Grand Avenue which was filled and the present Lakeland Plaza built (that is why it floods so badly when it rains). //// History At It's Most Local. --Cooter
