Today Jane visited the Clock Tower in downtown Marion, IL. Marion is located at 37.73 degrees N by 88.93 degrees W and is 17.67 miles from home. OK, so Marion may not really be the "Hub of the Universe", but whatever you do not tell that to the major. The Marion square, which holds the Clock Tower at its center, has been host to many historic events. This is where General John A. Logan rallied the troops to fight in the Civil War. It was also the location of the Williamson County Courthouse from 1889-1972.
Thankfully the weather held out today, so there were no "Back to the Future" moments!!!
