Preservation bill aims to buy Monk's Mound for state park
Illinois Rep Norman G Flagg proposes $150000 for purchase of Monk's Mound and surrounding lands to create a state reservation and park. The move is linked with the Illinois Historical Society and Park Commission, aiming to protect hundreds of acres and about a hundred smaller mounds from industrial encroachment and to preserve a historic relic for future generations. The effort mirrors earlier Starved Rock acquisition and involves a Springfield committee and potential large public attention as a secret order parade accompanies the delegation.
