Stacy's Tavern, Glen Ellen, Du Page, IL.
This was my first apartment! Imagine my surprise to discover that it is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The other day I was following a genealogy lead that led me to the web pages for Lombard, Du Page, Illinois. While there, I saw a reference to Stacy's Tavern and followed the thread. A firend and I shared the first floor apartment in the early 1960s. My room was on the left side of the building. When we lived there I knew it had been a stage coach stop but not that Abraham Lincoln slept there. I only lived there for about a year but I still have fond memories of the place. For more information on Stacy's Tavern just check out google or wikipedia.
How old is the tavern?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little discovery. Our first apt. was noted for being in the middle of gang territory....
