You Don’t Have to Leave Monroe County to Find Greatness

“You Don’t Have to Leave Monroe County to Find Greatness” by Mike Kish. Monroe County has an interesting geological and historical past!  Why did the Territory and State of Illinois begin in our area?   Without leaving Monroe County, you can spend a family day visiting historical sites, hiking, and finding your roots.  A slide presentation and an itinerary will help you learn your past and plan your own trip if you like.  Mike Kish, ICS Principal and tour director, has led his 8th graders on this trip for 14 years.  Be prepared to laugh, learn, and love Monroe County! Join us in the Monroe County History Museum’s Allscheid-Metzger Gallery located at 724 Elaine Drive, Waterloo, IL 62298.
