SUMMARY:Family History Walk -2025
DESCRIPTION:The Madison County Historical Society’s Annual Family History Walk will take place along St. Louis Street in Edwardsville\, Illinois\, on Saturday\, September 13. Participants will meet at the West End Service Station at the corner of St. Louis and West Streets in Edwardsville\, at 10 a.m. The restored station is now the City of Edwardsville’s Route 66 Tourist Information Center. Parking is available at First Baptist Church at 534 St. Louis Street. \nAfter a brief introduction\, a guide will lead participants to ten St. Louis Street homes where actors portraying former residents of the houses will greet them. The first stop after the West End Service Station will be at Hadley House where Julia Hadley Griffin will talk about the “Marriage Triangle\,” consisting of three generations of homes on the same corner\, the E. M. West House\, the Hadley House\, and the Burley-Griffin House. The walk does not include entrance to any of the houses. \nThe History Walk began many years ago as a program for Edwardsville second graders. The students would tour Edwardsville’s Main Street. In 2022\, MCHS brought back the tradition and invited families to participate in the walks which are held in different neighborhoods each year. This year\, St. Louis Street was chosen because it is a National Historic District recognized for its beautiful and varied architecture. \nThis is a free event offered by MCHS to build awareness of and interest in the community around us. Allow two hours to complete the walk. For more information\, contact the Madison County Historical Society at 618-656-1294 or visit the MCHS website at https://madcohistory.org/.
