Old School
Considered the largest wood frame structure in Knox County Illinois, this old early 1900’s school house now sits unused except for Halloween spook shows and the like. There is a walnut wood gymnasium on the top floor. This place was a real showcase in it’s day which proves to me that in it’s heyday this town was bustling and prosperous whereas today it is only a sleepy little village with no business district whatsoever. The current population is about 250. The fortunes of this town rose and fell with the railroad. It has been left high and dry by the winds of fate.
