The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Go Back to World War II at McHenry Open House

From the August 12, 2015 Daily herald (Illinois)

McHenry County Conservation District's Living History Open House was held from noon to 4 p.m. August 16th at the Powers-Walker House Historic Landmark at Glacier Park on Il. Route 31 and Harts Road in Ringwood.

A tour will be given of the 1854-era house.  The focus will be on the history of the house, residents and northeastern Illinois region during World War II.  Much attention will be given to the Schaefer and Steinmetz families who lived in the house during that era.
