A Celebration Of Our Rural HeritageThe First Two Full Weekends In October October 3-4 and 10-11, 2009 We invite you to join us for our annual celebration of the pioneer and Native American cultures prevalent here in Knox County, Illinois. The Knox County Scenic Drive is a self-guided car tour, allowing you to navigate your way through the small towns of Knox County, displaying the best they have to offer. You will encounter old traditions, crafts and skills at each of the stops along the way. Two one-room schoolhouses, four buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a railroad depot, an 1832 log cabin, museums and century old chapels will be open for visitors to explore. Each stop emphasizes a unique aspect of our rural heritage, but they are all bonded together by a fun, friendly atmosphere with plenty to see and do for the entire family. |
