All roads lead to fun: Your guide to summer events throughout the area Owners put their own slant on the menu at a Lanark restaurant

JCWIFI has lower latency*…no wonder even financial traders prefer wireless
*Latency is the delay that occurs when your computer is talking to other computers/servers; for example, you may experience low or high latency (delay) during an online auction or engaging sports game – not good!
JCWIFI offers low, consistent, no-hidden fee pricing compared to fiber and cable providers’ often inconsistent, add-on pricing
JCWIFI is local with friendly, local tech and customer support — not outsourced like a national company
JCWIFI cannot be physically cut so is less fragile than fiber optics where cut lines can result in long outages
SPEED
JCWIFI uses radio waves that travel at the speed of light so your wireless internet is as fast as the speed of light
t’s a fact: More people travel in the warmer months. The weather’s perfect, summer vacation is in full swing, cities’ event calendars fill up, and let’s face it: “fun in the sun” just doesn’t have the same ring to it as “fun in the snow.”
But you don’t have to travel far to have a good time.
Summertime is a busy time for special events and tourist attractions, and the Sauk Valley is no different. Carroll County — and its neighbors, Lee, Ogle and Whiteside counties — roll out the welcome mat for locals and visitors alike. There are festivals and fine arts, concerts and car shows, farmers markets and fairs; scenery to spot on a drive through the country; quaint villages here and there, and also maybe a funky shop that’s worth a stop — all that and more, and you don’t even need a plane ticket, just a tank of gas.
On the following pages are some things to do and places to see in the area, culled from Sauk Valley Media’s annual Voyager publication, a guide to events and destinations throughout northern Illinois and eastern Iowa (see this year’s at issuu.com/shawmedia/docs/svm_voyager_051923).
While you’re making a date with a destination, don’t forget to mark your calendar for summer fun in Lake Carroll …
The top Lake Carroll golfers will take on groups of golfers from other courses throughout northern Illinois at the Women’s Lincoln Highway Tournament on July 7-8 at the Lake Carroll Golf Course. The tournament is the longest running women’s amateur golf event in the nation, having started in 1923.
The Lake Carroll Music Fest is July 28 and 29 at the Clubhouse, and is open to the public. Entertainment on the first day will be 3 Day Rain and Shotgun Jane. The next day, Charlie Schellerer, The Joe Buckley Band, Two Stroke Johnson, and Serendipity play. Kids can hop on over to a bounce house both days, and vendors and food trucks will be set up, too. If you feel like some cutting-edge fun, an axe throwing trailer will be set up Saturday.
Whether it’s fun right in your backyard or a day trip down the road, there’s no shortage of things to do this summer, so fire up the map app and load up the family and see what the area has to offer.

ino Novakovic and Jill Luning have cooked up a way to get hungry folks coming back to their downtown Lanark restaurant. Offer good food and good service, and then give customers something to talk about — like the menu.
Do you want peanut butter, jelly and potato chips wrapped in a tortilla? How about some caramel sauce on your burger? Or maybe a pizza on top of a pizza? You’ll find them at The Crooked Roof, and while those menu mash-ups may sound a little off-kilter to some, the only thing crooked about their restaurant is its name (well, and the roof, too, but more about that later).
Nino Novakovic and Jill Luning, owners of The Crooked Roof in Lanark.
Cody Cutter | Sauk Valley Media
Novakovic and Luning have made variety a centerpiece on their tables, and the husbandand-wife team continue to get their culinary creations on as they approach their 10th year in business at the bar/restaurant. While offering traditional favorites, they’re not afraid to mix things on their menu.
Take their burgers for example — and there are a lot to take: You can get the basic beef on a bun (the Just A Burger), or you can try one of their many speciality burgers that are more than just a burger.
The Crooked Roof offers several, but one of the newest — and already top-selling — is the caramel cheddar bacon burger: a half-pound patty topped with cheddar cheese, bacon and covered in caramel sauce, all between two buns.
“It’s become a huge hit,” Novakovic said. There’s also the Wassssup Burger, with wasabi sauce and pepper Jack cheese; a burger with bacon, BBQ and pulled pork; and an interesting combination: a patty with Thousand Island dressing and onion rings called The Interesting Burger.
Though “The Crooked Roof” may seem an unlikely name for a restaurant, it’s actually a perfect fit. The wonky roof inspired the name of the business.
Belly up to the bar and have a belt ... Customers will find some championship gold at The Crook Roof. This replica of World Championship Wrestling’s World Heavyweight Championship (“The Big Gold Belt”) was signed by wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, whom Nino Novakovic has gotten to know over the years.
The food does a lot of the talking when it comes to helping spread the word about The Crooked Roof as a restaurant that stands out from the rest, and what it says is: Don’t be afraid to try something different, maybe even a little wacky — like a wrap that sounds more like a sandwich kids concoct in a school cafeteria.
The idea of taking peanut butter, jelly and potato chips and wrapping it in a tortilla — called the Wacky Wrap — is just one of the ideas the couple tries out in the Crooked Roof kitchen. Unlike other wraps on the menu, this one doesn’t have tomatoes or lettuce on it.
Nino Novakovic talks about the restaurant’s outdoor seating area and beer garden, which provide plenty of room to host The Crooked Roof’s motorcycle nights and live music events.
Wraps aren’t the only place you’ll find PB&J at The Crooked Roof. It’s also on one of their pizzas.
Following their quest for creativity, Luning and Novakovic offer a peanut butter and jelly pizza, along with other specialty pizzas. They come in a 12-inch small, 16-inch large, or a 10-incher with gluten-free crust. The pies are sliced up in New York fashion, with pieces big enough to fold up and eat. And if you want someone else to do the folding, calzones are available.
As for that pizza on top of a pizza? It’s actually a stuffed pizza: crust, pizza toppings, then another layer of crust topped off with — you guessed it — more toppings.
“We’ll make a pizza with whatever topping you want on it, and then we’ll take another layer of dough, put it on top, and have another pizza on top,” Novakovic said. “It’s thick, it’s huge, it’s really good. If you order a stuffed pizza, you might eat two slices and get full. It’s great for a family.”
The Crooked Roof, 109 E. Carroll St. in Lanark, is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday and Friday; and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday. Find it on Facebook, go to thecrookedroof.com or call 815-493-6838 to place a carryout order or for more information.
“We make our pizzas to order, so you’re getting what you’re wanting,” Luning said. “It’s not out of the box, it’s not pre-made, manufactured dough that we’re putting toppings on. We’re actually creating the dough itself, and a lot of people like the flavor of the dough as well as the rest of the pizza.”
Pizza isn’t the only slice of Italy that’s cooked in the Crooked kitchen. Also among its daily specials: a thick lasagna on Thursday and spaghetti on Sunday, with its own blend of sauce, with sausage and hamburger mixed in.
Pork chops are also on the menu, with or without apple butter on them, and chicken sandwich choices include sweet chili chicken, buffalo bleu cheese, and — similar to the popular burger — a caramel cheddar bacon.
Whether it’s sitting at one of the tables inside, at the bar, or outside in the beer garden, talking about the food is part of the experience at The Crooked Roof.
“What I hear a lot when people come in here is that it’s enjoyable,” Luning said. “We intended to have a cozy atmosphere and have a comfortable place to go, and they enjoy being surrounded by the interior. We try to make our menu so that there’s something different for them to enjoy, and it’s just a nice place to gather with family and friends.”
Along with customers’ curiosity about their culinary concoctions, questions often come up about the roof, which actually is crooked. The building was damaged in a fire about 90 to 100 years ago, Novakovic said, and the rafters holding the roof in place were charred. Before Novakovic and Luning opened for business in April 2014, they tried to straighten the roof, but to no avail. They decided to just make sure it was structurally sound and then turn a crooked roof into The Crooked Roof after Luning came up with the idea of the name for the restaurant.
The couple had previously leased Charlie’s II in Mount Carroll for a couple of years, but when they wanted to move up to something bigger, they went looking for a place of their own and found it in Lanark. The outdoor space attracts motorcyclists for bike nights on Thursdays, and feature live music on the first and third Friday of each month — country, classic rock and blues.
“We try to get a variety of music and genres of it that everyone can enjoy,” Novakovic said. “It’s something that, whether you’re a teenager or 90 years old, you’re going to enjoy it.”
“It’s nice to see the older crowd and the younger crowd all come and mingle here and have a good time,” Novakovic said.

ome may be faster than a speeding Bullitt and others as quick as Lightning, but they shifted gears last month at Lake Carroll and slowed down long enough for car enthusiasts to stop by and get a good look at them.
Vehicles pulled into the Clubhouse for a car show that attracted folks who wanted to take a peek under the hood, hear the stories behind the vehicle, or just take a ride down memory lane.
The event drew nearly 25 entries from Lake Carroll and elsewhere in northern Illinois, along with proud owners who were happy to chat with visitors about their vehicles, which ranged in age from the 1930s to the 2010s.
The car show made a comeback after several years when it returned to Lake Carroll in August 2022 as part of the community’s 50th anniversary celebration. The event did well enough to bring it back again, and some of the vehicles stopped by this year for an encore performance after being in last year’s show.
Best of Show awards were given for the top car and truck. Jim Leverington of Freeport had the Best Car with his black 1963 Studebaker GT Hawk, and Rich Anderson of Lake Carroll had the top truck with his red “Anderson Farms” 1965 Chevrolet C-10, an award winner in past Lake Carroll car shows.
The People’s Choice Award went to Lake Carroll’s Keith Grabarek and his dark green 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback, which is a replica of the car driven by motion picture speed king Steve McQueen in the 1968 film “Bullitt.”
Lake Carroll’s Choice, as voted by Lake Carroll administration, was right at home at the lake, and was awarded to Gail Mulay for her 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati. Lauren Jenkins of Carol Stream won Best Detail for his orange and black 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle.
In addition to the special awards, 15 cars earned Top 20 awards. Local vendors also set up at the show, and Candlelight Inn had a food tent.
Carousel Sound of DeKalb set the wheels in motion and coordinated the show; Carousel has hosted and coordinated car shows throughout northeast Illinois since 2001, and Lake Carroll’s was the only show it’s held elsewhere in the state.

This 1936 Plymouth P1 Business coupe owned by Bill Bartels of New Glarus, Wisconsin, was the oldest vehicle in the Car Show. Its “sister” model is the P2 Deluxe coupe with four doors.

Mustang IIs were launched in 1973 to adapt to the fuel shortage crisis of the time. The Cobra design was introduced in 1976 to resemble the appearance of the original Shelby Mustangs of the late 1960s.
The 1963 Studebaker Gran Turismo (“GT”) Hawk owned by Jim Leverington of Freeport won Best of Show at the Lake Carroll Car Show. Studebaker only made this model from 1962 to 1964, two years before the company’s last car rolled off the assembly line.

Gail Mulay’s 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati was the first of its kind — a joint effort by Chrysler and Maserati that lasted only 3 years — to roll off the assembly line for sale to the public. Mulay’s father, Sam, won it in a silent auction at the 1988 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic Ball golf tournament at PGA West in La Quinta, California. Sam, who died in 1996, was the founder of the Mulay Plastics custom molding company in Addison; the hat and jacket he wore while driving the car also sat in the back seat during the show.
Edsels didn’t last long on the car scene, and were a notorious failure for the otherwise successful Ford Motor Company, but this one from 1958 has well outlasted the brand. Owned by David Meile of Baileyville, this Edsel Pacer has a 390 Ford engine.
Len and Linda Anderson of Mount Carroll brought their 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 to the car show. This isn't just any Z-28 though, it’s a limited edition 30th Anniversary Special, unique with its orange striping. Only 979 were made.

Brian and Donna Caldwell of Lake Carroll, owners of the AutoSmart auto store in Oswego, promoted their business and a line of Jax Wax cleaning products during the car show. They were one of several vendors at the show, which also included Hairy's Yard Art of Chadwick, the Main Squeeze lemonade truck of Rock Falls, Big John's Dogs and More of Belvidere, and baked goods from the Bound With Love adoption foundation.
ome vehicles don’t get out as much as others. Their wipers don’t see a lot of rain, and their tires don’t see much snow. Some are classics. Some are the rides the owner saves for a special day. But when the sun is out, so are they — and it’s hard to tell which one shines more.
They’re the rides that get some tender loving car care from their owners, and on a sunny Saturday in June some of them hit the road for the Lake Carroll Car Parade. Some rolled off the assembly line decades ago, while you could still almost get a whiff of that new-car smell in others.
Owners got behind the wheel June 3 to show off their rides on a cruise that rolled along more than 100 miles of country roads and city highways, to
Dubuque and back on both sides of the mighty Mississippi River.
The rides ranged from nearly 90 years old to a few years old, and the Chevrolets that saw the USA bookended the birthdays: The oldest was a 1937 Chevy Sedan, and the newest was a 2021 Corvette C8 — and not all the rubber met the road in the same way. Most people in the parade cruised on four wheels, but others only used two or three. The angles of a 2021 Polaris Slingshot R cut a fine figure as it rolled down the road on three wheels, and a pair of motorcycles tagged along, too.

The pack drove through Elizabeth, Galena and East Dubuque in Illinois; and Dubuque, St. Donatus, Bellevue and Sabula in Iowa, before crossing back into Illinois to roam through Savanna and Mount Carroll before meeting back where it all began at the Lake Carroll Clubhouse. Along the way, drivers stopped at Culver’s in Galena and Tina’s Ice Cream in Mount Carroll to take a break and cool off.
There were plenty of twists and turns and ups and downs along the way, especially on the winding, hilly roads from Lake Carroll to Elizabeth, before the parade hit U.S. Route 20, the
longest national highway in America. After cruising through downtown Elizabeth, the vast Jo Daviess County landscape greeted riders on their way to Galena.
After grabbing a bite at Culver’s, the pack zoomed along multi-lane highways between Galena and East Dubuque before crossing the Julian Dubuque Bridge over the Mighty Mississippi into Dubuque’s busy highways. Then it was a trip down Iowa’s Great River Road through the historic Luxembourg village of St. Donatus, Bellevue and its river views, and from end-to-end through the island town of Sabula.
Crossing back into Illinois on the Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge, the pack rolled through downtown Savanna and up the big bluff before stopping once more at Tina’s Ice Cream. The last leg was fairly short, as riders moved along the meandering miles leaving Mount Carroll and heading toward
Want to take the same ride people in parade enjoyed? Take a drive through the picturesque landscapes of the southern chunk of the Driftless Area (read more about the Driftless Area in May’s Lake Lifestyle, at issuu.com/shawmedia/docs/svm LL 050323). There are plenty of turns along the way, so pay attention to the green intersection signs along the following roads:
TO ELIZABETH FROM LAKE CARROLL: Take Zier Road west to Carter Road, then turn right on Loran Road, and left on Althoff Road; follow road signs along the way for East Loran Road, which will include a few jogs, until its intersection with state Route 78, where you’ll turn right. Turn left on South Bethel Road, then left on East Bethel Road and follow to the “T” with Derinda Road where U.S. Route 20 will be within eyesight; jog right and then left onto the highway to follow to Elizabeth.
THEN TO DUBUQUE: Follow U.S. Route 20 west through Galena, and then proceed on the
The Lake Carroll car parade featured ve hicles from different decades — the curvaceous classics of the ’30s to newer rides with a sharper look — and in one case, not as many wheels.

road trip is a nice way to experience Lee County, seeing the sights as you travel along its highways and byways, but if you really want to soak in the scenery, you should try one of its waterways. Franklin Creek.
This tributary of the Rock River travels a winding journey from near Grand Detour down to the west side of Franklin Grove before it splits off into three smaller streams. At least that’s what it looks like on a map. But there’s a lot more to that twisting and turning tributary than a thin blue line.
The creek’s watershed moments help channel rainfall and snowmelt where it needs to go, playing an important role in agriculture along the way as it takes in water from farm fields south of Franklin Grove; it supports a diverse ecosystem of flora and fauna; and in places where the public can get a closer peek at the creek, it provides a beautiful backdrop for hikers and nature-lovers.
Franklin Creek winds through the Franklin Creek State Natural Area, west of Franklin Grove.
The start of the stream that makes up the Franklin Creek watershed starts at a culvert on Hermann Road, a little over a mile east of Whitney Road (below). The water comes via drainage pipes from nearby fields (right), which collect rain and snow runoff into the stream.
Not too bad for just a squiggly little line on a map.
As the crow flies, it’s only about a 6-mile trip from beginning to end of Franklin Creek, but if you were to put hiking boots on the ground and walk the length of it, it’d be a lot longer. The creek bends north and south and east and west through north central Lee County, through farm fields and nature preserves, over rocks and under bridges, wherever it decides to go with the flow.
The Rock River’s first collection of Lee County water comes from Franklin Creek and its watershed, its mouth about 2,500 feet west of where Lost Nation Road goes over it. The mouth can be seen with binoculars looking south and slightly to the left of houses across the river from the boat launch wayside in Grand Detour. The creek meanders for about 2,000 feet through woods before coming out to divide farmland just before going under its first bridge. Just before the creek empties into the Rock River, Franklin Creek collects the Chamberlain Creek, which originates south of Nachusa.
Franklin Creek stretches to one of its widest points, at about 50 feet, on that farm property; typically it’s only a few feet deep. Cattle from the farm will sometimes ford the creek and linger awhile in its cooling waters, which passing motorists can see from the Lost Nation Road bridge, about a quarter-mile south of the Flagg Road curve. A small wire fence is strung along the width of the creek right before it goes under the bridge to prevent the cattle from approaching it.
Going under Lost Nation Road, the creek connects with additional wooded areas as it approaches a pair of segments of Nachusa Grasslands.
While Franklin Creek doesn’t flow through the area where Nachusa Grasslands’ 100 head of buffalo roam, it comes close to it while winding through the restored prairie area.
The 300-acre Stone Barn Savanna area is a combination of extensive oak savanna, restored prairie openings, wetlands and sandstone cliffs. Hikers can access the area at the dead end at Stone Barn Road, and go through 1.8 miles of woods along marked trails.
The Franklin Creek Headwaters site is where the creek takes shape, with the merger of two smaller creeks. The area around the merger point has been preserved as a natural prairie with a trail. Signs along the trail feature information on butterflies, wetland restoration, crop rotation, vegetative filler strips, no-till farming, pollinators and other nature preservation efforts and practices.
features 882 acres of natural springs, hardwood forests, bedrock outcroppings and a large variety of flora and fauna in a pristine ecosystem that also includes a 198-acre nature preserve. It’s an excellent site for nature-lovers, providing a place for bird-watching, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and more. Go to franklincreekconservation.org, under the Plan Your Visit menu, for more information.
Larry Dunphy Storybook Trail also is located at the east edge of the Franklin Creek State Natural Area, where children can walk along and read a story — “Mrs. Maple’s Seeds,” by Eliza Wheeler — posted on signs along the path. The trail is dedicated to Dunphy, co-owner of the Books on First in downtown Dixon, who passed away in 2019.
Along the way, seven points of interest are posted on green signs, each directing hikers to websites explaining the sites in greater detail. The trail system consists of a 0.9-mile loop, and a 0.9-mile extension to the wetland and its waters, which drain into Franklin Creek.
After leaving the savanna area, the creek goes in a southward direction for 1 mile to go under Naylor Road and into the Jay Meiners Wetlands, named in honor of an avid local outdoorsman. This 80-acre tract consists of remnant prairie, planted prairie and crop fields to compliment marsh areas. Parking is along Naylor Road, about 200 feet east of Robbins Road.
Nachusa Grasslands encompasses 4,100 acres and is owned and maintained by The Nature Conservancy, a global environmental organization in Arlington, Virginia. The prairie’s open-air museum, on Lowden Road between Naylor and Flagg roads, is the central visitor attraction with exhibits and displays,
and is the starting point of hiking trails that bring visitors closer to the bison. Flowing south for another 1,500 feet, the creek leads to an area administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources bearing the creek’s name.
This 880-acre polygon preserves flora and fauna along Franklin Creek’s path. The creek both enters and exits the park through thick, wooded areas with plenty of trails. In the middle of the park, the creek — on average about 25 feet wide within the park boundary — cuts through restored prairies and runs along a small rock bluff where it goes under Twist Road (so named because the road makes many twists). The creek maintains its shallow depth through the park, a treat of tranquility for visitors, especially where they can stop and hear the signature sound of water gurgling over rocks. Hiking trails totaling 4.5 miles in all also wind through the park, both in the woods and along the creek. Camping and horseback riding are also available. According to the IDNR, 19 species of fish have been recorded in the creek. The park’s center, at the intersection of Twist and Old Mill roads, has a picnic area, playground, and an overlook shelter looking out to a large pond near the creek. Along the area’s eastern edge, off of Old Mill Road, is another playground and picnic area. The Larry Dunphy Storybook Trail also is located at the east edge of the area, where kids can walk along and read a story — “Mrs. Maple’s Seeds” by Eliza Wheeler — posted on signs along the path. The trail is dedicated to Dunphy, co-owner of the Books on First book store in downtown Dixon, who passed away in 2019.

In 1992, the Franklin Creek Conservation Association spearheaded an effort to reconstruct the Franklin Creek Grist Mill, raising nearly a halfmillion dollars to rebuild the 1847 water-driven mill. The new mill was dedicated Sept. 25, 1999. The group continues to raise funds to pay for the mill’s operation and maintenance, with no cost to the state. Today, the mill — at 1893 Twist Road, Franklin Grove — serves as not only a tourist attraction, but the welcome and education center for the Franklin Creek State Natural Area. Information is available on hiking trails, wildlife, plants and the area’s geology. A bison exhibit is featured on the first floor, where visitors can learn more about the animals that once roamed the land, and still do at the nearby Nachusa Grasslands. The mill is open noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday from April through October, and noon-4 p.m. Fridays from June 1-Aug. 31. A public demonstration of grinding takes place the last Saturday of the month.

Although the IDNR owns the natural area, the Franklin Creek Conservation Association puts in a substantial amount of work to maintain it.
The creek also serves as a source of power: The association operates a reconstructed grist mill on the property, built in 1992 utilizing the same blueprints of one originally built near the same site in 1847 by Joseph Emmert and Christian Lahman. The three-story museum, plus basement, recalls the days of milling and preservation of nearby natural habitats. The mill also grinds corn on occasion; demonstrations are made on the last Saturday of the month from April to October when the grindstones and mill wheel are in action.
Also located at the grist mill are informational flyers and trail-based scavenger hunts to get visitors more engaged in the surroundings.
One of the newest attractions to the park is Mill Spring Cottage, which guests can rent. The house was restored and is maintained by the Franklin Creek Conservation Association, overlooking the creek and the woods around it. The two bedroom, two bathroom house has a kitchen and a deck and can sleep up to seven guests.
Even the old bridges along Franklin Creek have a beauty and charm all their own. Top: The creek goes under this late 1800s stone arch bridge that carries the Union Pacific railroad’s Overland Route line connecting Chicago and San Francisco. Left: This bridge used to carry U.S. Route 330 (later Alternate U.S. Route 30 and state Route 38) across the creek west of Franklin Grove. The bridge can be seen over the south ledge of the current bridge.
The creek narrows as it exits the area and approaches the western edge of Franklin Grove.
The official starting point of Franklin Creek is where two similarly sized streams converge near the Union Pacific railroad line east of the intersection of state Route 38 and Gap Road. The land around the merging point was acquired by the Franklin Creek Conservation Association in 2009 and has a trail also winding through its 80 acres. Entrances to the trail are off of North State Street in Franklin Grove, and off of state Route 38 east of the bridge over the creek.
Hidden from sight of motorists on Route 38 is an older bridge below and off to the south side of the current bridge. The Lincoln Highway cuts through the west and east sides of the village, but Route 38 was built in 1926 (then called U.S. Route 330) to pass through the northern part of town and off of the esteemed highway. The old bridge was later abandoned in favor of the current rerouting.
The creek also flows under another unique bridge: an arch type made of stone carrying the railroad.
Along the trail of the headwaters site are 12 informational signs detailing information on butterflies, wetland restoration, crop rotation, vegetative filer strips, no-till farming, pollinators and other nature preservation efforts and practices.
At the merging point, the smaller of the two streams that make up Franklin Creek meanders north for about a mile, going under Route 38 once more through a culvert and crossing Old Mill Road north of there. The larger prong, Chaplin Creek, continues southward and flows along the edges of both a restored historical village that shares the creek’s name, as well as the Living History Antique Equipment Association showgrounds. This creek maintains a width of about 12 to 15 feet for its entirety.
Chaplin Creek Village, operated by the Franklin Grove Area Historical Society, consists of a replica historic village from the mid-1800s, similar to what Franklin Grove looked like upon its founding as Chaplin. The buildings open up during the village’s Summer Harvest Festival during the first weekend of August.
The Living History Antique Equipment Association has an annual show that also takes place on the first weekend of August. The event brings together antique farm equipment owners and their machines for showings and demonstrations of classic farming techniques. The event also has a petting zoo, a straw scramble and a parade with equipment.
Chaplin Creek itself continues south close to Whitney Road, and goes under a pair of culverts under Interstate 88. From there, the stream continues for another 1.5 miles until it reaches its beginning under a culvert below Hermann Road 1-1/4 miles east of Whitney Road. It’s here where runoff from the nearby fields drains into the creek to begin a winding course through areas with plenty to see, do and hear before it flows into the Rock River.
