Illinois River Road - Canton, Illinois

Canton, Illinois is part 6 of our video tour. Canton is rich with history and has been home to citizens of great character and ambition, including Charles Duryea, inventor of the first practical automobile, Elizabeth Magie, who developed the game of Monopoly, and William Parlin, an agricultural equipment innovator during the 1800's. Parlin's legacy lives on through a generous endowment supporting Canton's exceptional park district. The Canton Park District manages more than 1600 acres of park and open space that enhance the quality of life within the community, including: Wallace Park, the par district's operational hub; Big Creek Park; Athletic Park; and Lakeland Park.

I live in Minnesota now, but I was born in Canton and lived in Havana. Watching these videos make me miss it so much.
