The Farm Restaurant now The Lodge, heavily remodeled. Gated lane once lead to a dirt race track for 1930s motorcycles and cars, a dance pavilion above in woods. Companies would hold employee dinners/picnics/outings there. Farm seen in far right was the Brown Family who started the little bar and grill and owned and operated it for a number of years. In the 1980s another owner was charged with laundry of drug money and the property was confiscated by the U.S. government and later sold to other restaurateurs. The Lodge has many historic photos of the building on the walls. It was a real roadhouse out in the country in the 1930s- 1950s. Just west of Wasco, IL in Campton Hills, IL on ILL Rt.64.
