Watseka, IL here..

Good old Highway 1 ;)

So your down there in South Middleport ;)

"A group of land owners to the southeast of Middleport
offered a proposition to the railroad. This offer was
accepted, and the route ran south of Middleport. A
new town, called South Middleport, came into being
about a mile southeast. The name was changed in 1865
to Watseka; and upon incorporation of Watseka,
Middleport become a part of that town. The old
courthouse in Middleport was abandoned and a new
one built in Watseka. All that remains of the old
courthouse completed in 1847 is the square on
which it stood. This is now a small park located
one block west of the West Watseka School. A
picture of the courthouse appears in the large
painting on the north wall of the present circuit
court room."

SHERMANVILLE!!! You amaze me!!! I've lived here for 12 years and you know more about it than I do!!! I know where the park is but never knew there was a courthouse there.. I thought the county historical was the old courthouse... Now theres another.. Guess I should call the park district and see if I can hunt there.. Thanks for the info...
