Fox River Grove, Illinois<\/h3>
The Ojibwe people continued to winter in the region into the 1860s. The women traded beadwork and purses with local settlers while the men trapped muskrat and mink selling the pelts in nearby Barrington, Illinois. The men also made fence posts for local farmers. When spring came they traveled north to their summer lands in Wisconsin.\n<\/p>
In 1850, Frank Opatrny purchased 80 acres (320,000\u00a0m2) of land on the southern shore of the Fox River. The area gained a reputation with city dwellers as a vacation spot. Chicagoans were transported by livery bus from the Illinois & Wisconsin Railroad station in neighboring Cary, Illinois. In 1899 Eman Opatrny bought the land from his father Frank Opatrny. Eman decided to transform the family homestead into a picnic area, and the Fox River Picnic Grove was born.\n<\/p>
In 1902, a luxury hotel known as the Castle Pavilion and Resort Hotel was built. The building featured windows displayed during Chicago's 1893 Columbian Exposition. The Resort Hotel contained the area's first player piano, as well as a dance floor. Opatrny built numerous cottages near the shore of the Fox River, boat docks were installed, a picnic area with shelters was set up, and several trees were planted. He also built a railroad spur track that lead directly into the park. Recreational activities in the Picnic Grove included a shooting gallery, dance platform, bowling alley, boathouse, photo gallery, rowboat rental, horse track, steam-powered excursion boat and baseball diamonds. During the 1910s, motion pictures were shown in the Castle Pavilion.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
