The Wagon Wheel Resort in Rockton Illinois , The Wagon Wheel is no longer standing Today

The little train that was at the Wagon Wheel is now at the Donley's Western Town near Union,Illinois

Just interested, grew up on Valerie Rd next to the Honomegah forest preserve.

When I moved up here in 1973, Valerie Rd was a corn field. I rode the little train all the time. It was kind of fun, especially when it went into the woods. Flew a couple times out of Wagon Wheels Airport. Hononegah Rd was ho-chi-mihn trail, barely wide enough for two cars. You usually had to go off the side of the road do you could pass. If a car went by at night it woke you up. Good times!
