Poverty and Setting Preserved Elsah for 19th Century Life
In Elsah Illinois near the Mississippi River a narrow green valley preserves a late 1800s town. History professor Charles Hosmer notes the natural setting and architectural unity sustain a district of 1853 to 1860 buildings amid hills and brick and limestone streets. The town peaked in 1861 and has declined since, with four pre-1870 saloons still standing.
