Salem4Youth Ranch Equine Program
Over the years Salem’s “signature” program has been their horses. Each of the students on the Ranch have the opportunity to work with and care for the horses. Currently we have approximately 18 lesson horses living here on campus.
Winston Churchill once said “The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.” We have found that to be true here on our campus.

Chatsworth Wreck 1887
On August 10, 1887 a small town became a community of heroes when an excursion train fatally crashed. The train departed from Peoria, Illinois and was headed for Niagara Falls when a bridge collapsed, killing 85 and injuring 365.
The citizens of Chatsworth came to the rescue for these strangers on this ill-fated train as makeshift hospitals were set up in private homes and public buildings were turned in morgues.

Historic Reddick High School Gymnasium
Built in 1951 by Clarence Gall, this gymnasium is up for Historic Preservation in Kankakee County Illinois due to its rare engineering and architectural design. Since its construction, the gym has undergone very little change. The barrel-vaulted roof, with ribs of glue-laminated wood is in great condition, as is the original wooden floating floor.
For 37 years it was home to the Reddick High School Bulldogs sports teams in the R.U.C.E. (Reddick, Union Hill, Campus and Essex) Community School District and later for the Reddick Grade School as part of the Herscher School District.

Cullom Historical Society
The Cullom Historical Society is now housed in a historical building located at 123 W Hack St. The building was the site of Leiser’s Dept. Store, which began in 1898 by Samuel Leiserwitz. After his death in 1913, his sons, Joe and Eke, took over the business and ran the store until the early l950’s.
Dale and Fran Herstein then bought the building and opened “Fran’s Tru-Value”. The society is renting the building from Daryl Holt, the present owner. We are extremely grateful to all those who have donated the funds that allowed us to have our own building.
