Why this spot

1910-1920 planned temperance town

A mail-order land venture by a Chicago minister that planned an alcohol-free town and a university; by 1917 it had about 100 residents, a hotel, a store and several bungalows. It was abandoned around 1920 and the lots were later sold off, mostly for unpaid taxes.View source →
