Site for Kishwaukee College Selected in 1967

From the October 11, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1967, 50 Years Ago.

"The Ralph Byrd farm on Alternate 30 west of Malta is where the Junior College Board has taken an option on 120 acres for the site of the proposed college.

"The area is located on the north side of Alternate 30 and west of the Kirkland blacktop road."

This would be where Kishwaukee College is located today.  Alternate 30, the original Lincoln Highway, is now Illinois Highway 38.
