Old Sauk Trail Pageant, Illinois c1923

Old Sauk Trail Pageant, Richton Park, Illinois circa 1923. The pageant/event was an attempt in the go-go 1920's to develop interest in the area. Something like a historical recreation, it never caught on, perhaps because of the Great Depression. Indians, probably Sauk or Fox, were shipped in for the event, perhaps from the reservation in Iowa.

Date & Place: circa 1923 at Event location - Sauk Trail in Richton Park, Cook County, Illinois United States of America

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
