This is where I spent most of my childhood. I lived there from 1970 until 2001. The has is gone now but my memories will be forever.

Hi Jamie! Thank you for sharing your cherished memories. We'd love to hear more about your childhood in Logan County, IL. Can you tell us about any favorite spots or activities from around 1980? Also, we're curious to know if you or your family were involved in any farming in the area. Feel free to share more details if you'd like.

I had two brothers and two sisters. We did not farm but we lived in front of the grain elevator. Dad helped out during harvest time. And we knew most of the farmers. As you may notice there is a railroad track. if you follow the track down on the left it came up to a railroad bridge. My brother and I played there all the time. The track also led us to Deer Creek where we would go swimming. I loved it!
