The caboose that sits on the side tracks in the center of Chatsworth is a reminder of an era when train travel was the most popular way to tour the nation and journey from coast to coast. Reflect on a time when life was simpler, when the rails took travelers to the sites and scenes of America.

This fence consists of dozens of pairs wearable shoes. Shoes are tied together & hung over the woven wire fence or just hung on the fence. Some are placed on the ground in baskets or boxes if it is too hard to hang them. A person may take shoes and also leave shoes.

The Shoe Fence is located at the south end of 6th Street in Cornell and continues south out of town.

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.

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.
