The Fox Lake Grant Township Historical Society will be having a presentation on a major village party area back around the early 1900s when folks would arrive by train from Chicago at a series of hotels, bars and dance halls in Nippersink Lake called "The Midway."
This area now has the Fox Lake Lakefront Park right by US-Highway 12 and is considered a fine example of what life was like during the area's Resort Era.
The presentationwill be given by Paul Jakstas whose family owned the famed Mineola Hotel for many years.
The presentation follows the General meeting at 9:30 am and will be held at the Grant Hall Museum at 411 Washington Street, Ingleside, Illinois.
Refreshments will be served.
