When I was a young girl, Aunt Fran always made this when we went to visit...my brother and I would have been disappointed if she didn't because it was our favorite. It's quick to make on busy days, and also freezes well.—LaVergne Krones, Matteson, Illinois

This page was started by Kelly Riley Lechner. I needed to find something to keep me occupied while my husband was deployed in Afghanistan and I was raising two children. I grew up here..love the people and the history. EDGERTON WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME.

Mark Scarborough was my neighbor and a family friend who thought this page was a fantastic idea. Unfortunately he passed before much could be done. He did however lead me in some great directions on where to look for history and add many great pictures.

Our goals are to update current images, reposting them with easy to understand information. Then, start adding more images. We are always on the look out for more images and information concerning our areas past.

As you have seen today, several images have been updated and reposted. Feel free to comment with memories and additional information!

Thank You! Please keep the pictures coming!
