I visited the town of Antioch and went to a Ghost Hunt/Lecture at the Lodge. We did have some results. Here is a video I took.
Antioch was also inhabited by the Pottawatomi Indians who were nomadic and living in teepees Route 173 was an Indian trail. After settlers came and brought the railroad with them, the town became a tourist town. Hotels and restaurants sprang up.
But life wasn't that easy for the pioneers and fire destroyed much of the downtown for multiple years including 1891, 1903, 1904, and 1905. Each time, the town was rebuilt.
Antioch is also the name for an ancient city in Greece just like Volo, Illinois is as well.
Dedicated to recovering and preserving the history of Volo and the nearby areas including Lake County, Illinois.
