About this Website
In an effort to provide a look at the development of this bit of the country we are providing this
resource.
Time and change, seems so often the two go hand in hand.
Much as we may want, we can not stop time moving on and the
changes that come with it. Each change can seem to speed by ever
so quickly or very slowly take place.
Were you here many years ago? Do you remember the
styles, buildings and businesses? Are they the same today?
Would it be nice to have photos and stories to remember?
Will you five, ten or even more years from now remember things as they are today?
In an effort to preserve with photos, verbal and written stories we wish to preserve this community as it is now,
with the hopes that in the future someone may recall fond memories as they enjoy going through this site.
We have very much enjoyed the opportunity to showcase the photos on these pages. We hope that we have caught all of what
makes Gillespie, Illinois and the surrounding communities what they are today.
We are grateful to those who shared with us, photos ansd stories from days gone by. Without their kind generosity
we would not have this past to include.
Our hope is that everyone who has the opportunity to view this site, will recall some very special, fond
memory that otherwise might have been lost. Long forgotten but now revived and live in your heart and mind.
We would be happy to provide more of a current outlook about local events and happenings if there was enough interest
for those knowledgable to provide the material.
Local charities are also welcome to provide information about the charity, including the location and contacts.
