Chestnut, IL


Chestnut, IL

Chestnut, IL, has the distinction of being the geographic center of

Illinois. In honor of this honor, they erected a grain silo along with this

sign.



Since Illinois didn't get the geographic center of the US, they were awarded

the city names of Normal and Standard City. Consolation prizes, not to be

confused with parting gifts.
