Getaway guide: The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency`s ”Welcome to Historic Illinois” is a wonderful tool for planning short hops to the state`s historylands.
The four-color brochure with foldout pages features nine historic sites in northern Illinois, 11 in central Illinois and eight in the southern portion of the state, with nary a mention of anything in Chicagoland`s northwest territory.
Still, if you`re looking for a weekend getaway or a Sunday afternoon sojourn, it`s worth writing for a free copy of ”Welcome to Historic Illinois.” Send your request to David Blanchette, Public Information Officer, Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, Old State Capitol, Springfield, Ill. 62701, or phone 217-785-0348.
