**************************
Deer Haven was in Ingleside between Washington Street and Illinois Highway 59.
It was a 19.3 acre park with a miniature train, pony rides, picnic facilities, refreshment stands and deer so tame that young children could feed them by hand. It operated from 1960 to 1967.
The tagline of the place was "Go on a See-Nik Pic-nik." They boasted of having a Fairy-Tail Forest where children could see deer, monkeys, birds, buffalo, lambs, goats and lots of bunnies.

The "Boating on the Chain" book costs $75 and is mostly about boat racing on the Chain O' Lakes. It has been sold out.

Kora and Maude streets in Fox Lake, near the Mineola were named after the daughters of the Mineola builders.
