Driving Around Small Town Beardstown, IL in 4k Video
Filmed on Monday, February 27, 2023, I drive around the village of Beardstown, Illinois to see what's going on.
Beardstown is a city in Cass County, Illinois, United States. The population was 5,951 at the 2020 census.
Beardstown is located on the Illinois River, which plays an important role in the economy and history of the community, and is the site of two grain terminals where farm products are transferred to barges for transport. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation along the river contribute to the local economy.
I was shocked to see so many hispanic businesses in a rural Illinois small town, which are typically 99% white. There were multiple Mexican restaurants, a Mexican ice cream shop, and a Mexican church! A large pork slaughterhouse, formerly owned by Kraft and Cargill now by JBS, is a major employer and has attracted a substantial immigrant population to Beardstown in recent years.
Beardstown was first settled by Thomas Beard in 1819; he erected a log cabin at the edge of the Illinois River, from which he traded with the local Native Americans and ran a ferry. The town was laid out in 1827 and was incorporated as a city in 1896. During the Black Hawk War in 1832, it was a base of supplies for the Illinois troops.
Thomas Beard's son, Edward Red Beard, a noted gambler and saloon keeper of the Old West, was killed in a gunfight in Kansas in 1873 by Rowdy Joe Lowe. Earlier, he had built a two-story brick building which was used for 85 years as a store and inn. This inn is alleged to have sheltered Abraham Lincoln on his visits to Beardstown, but that is legend and unconfirmed. The building was demolished and replaced by a post office. William Henry Herndon, Lincoln's Springfield law partner, claimed that Lincoln contracted syphilis from a prostitute in Beardstown,[9] an incident author Gore Vidal colorfully recounts in his historical novel Lincoln (1984).
The Beardstown Courthouse was the site of a famous trial which helped build Abraham Lincoln's reputation as a lawyer after he used a copy of a farmer's almanac to undermine the credibility of the prosecution's key witness. The scene was later depicted in a painting by Norman Rockwell. A Lincoln Museum is on the second floor of the courthouse along with many Native American relics.
From 1984 to 1993, a group of 16 late-aged women were picking stocks in the Dow Jones and over the course of nine years were claiming returns of 23.4% on their stocks. Once they went public with the amazing returns, they gained national recognition for their success. The Beardstown Ladies, with an average age of 70 (1994), were asked to appear on The Donahue Show, CBS's Morning Show, NBC's The Today Show, and ABC's Good Morning America. For six straight years they were honored by the National Association of Investors Corp's All-Star Investment Clubs. In 1993, they produced their first home video for investors called, The Beardstown Ladies: Cooking Up Profits on Wall Street. By 1994, they wrote their first book, The Beardstown Ladies' Common-Sense Investment Guide, which sold over 800,000 copies by 1998 and was a New York Times Best Seller. The Beardstown Ladies become a global phenomenon and TV stations from Germany, Brazil, and Japan were interviewing them and taping their monthly meetings in Beardstown. The seeds of scandal were planted in late 1998: a Chicago magazine noticed that the group's returns included the fees the women paid every month. Without them, the returns dwindled to just 9%, underperforming the Dow. An article in The Wall Street Journal led the ladies to hire an outside auditor, which proved they had indeed misstated their returns. Time magazine jokingly stated that they should be jailed for fraud and misrepresentation. As of 2006, the Beardstown Ladies were still buying stocks. Their books can be bought from Amazon.com for mere pennies. #driving #travel #drivingtour

Driving Around Tiny Village of Philadelphia, IL in 4k Video
Filmed on Monday, February 27, 2023, I drive around the small town of Philadelphia, Illinois to see what's going on.
I was on my way to Virginia, Illinois and I ran into Philadelphia. I had no idea that this town even existed! It's not on the map.
Philadelphia is an unincorporated community in Cass County, Illinois, United States. Philadelphia is located on Illinois Route 125, southeast of Virginia. Vernon Huber, the 36th Governor of American Samoa, was born in Philadelphia.
The community was named for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. #driving #travel #drivingtour
Tour of Small Town Petersburg, Illinois in 360° Video
Filmed on Monday, October 10th, 2022, I drive around the small town of Petersburg, Illinois. I drive through the town square and a few of the neighborhood streets.
Petersburg is a city in and the county seat of Menard County, Illinois, United States, on the bluffs and part of the floodplain overlooking the Sangamon River. It is part of the Springfield, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 2,260 at the 2010 census, and 2,226 at a 2018 estimate. Petersburg is located approximately two miles north of New Salem, the original settlement where Abraham Lincoln first settled, as he started his career.
The town began as a planned community organized by real estate speculators Peter Lukins (for whom the town is named) and George Warburton. Abraham Lincoln worked as the surveyor who first mapped, measured and help to divide lots on the land. Petersburg quickly grew, due to an advantageous placement on the river, becoming the county seat in the 1830s and eventually drawing off the population of New Salem, which was abandoned in 1840.
Many of the lush Victorian-era homes built by early wealthy inhabitants still stand on the bluffs of Petersburg. The town itself takes great pride in these structures, which has even preserved some of the original cobblestone streets to complement the classical architecture.
Local legend has it that town's name came about when Peter Lukins and George Warburton, two notorious sots, argued over what to call it. The matter was allegedly settled over a game of cards, which Lukins is credited as winning. Most versions of the tale claim that Warburton had it in mind to name the village Georgetown. This story, though often told in the area, has not been historically verified. #driving #travel #drivingtour

Driving Around Small Village Witt, Illinois in 4k Video
Filmed on Thursday, June 8 2023, I drive around the small town Witt, IL to see what's going on.
The village was named after Joseph Witt, a prominent local landowner and early settler in the area. He played a significant role in the establishment and growth of the community.
Witt was founded in 1852 by German immigrants who settled in the area. The town was established as a rural agricultural community, and its early growth was driven by farming.
Like many towns in the region, Witt had a significant coal mining industry. Coal was discovered in the area in the late 19th century, leading to the establishment of several mines. The coal mines provided employment opportunities and contributed to the local economy for many years.
As of the census of 2020, there were 785 people residing in the city, down from 903 in 2010.
The racial makeup of the city was 99.50% White, 0.10% African American, 0.20% Asian, and 0.20% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.20% of the population.
The median household income was $36,250 and 20.7% of the population lived below the poverty line.

Illinois Cities with the Most Diversity
Illinois overall is a diverse state, if you look at the demographic makeup of the population. However, travel through most of the towns and cities in downstate Illinois, and you'll see plenty of white folks around, but not many other ethnic groups are represented. That's because the diversity tends to be concentrated in specific places. In this video, we're taking a look at those places where you will find the most diversity.

Our first road trip to the Capital City of IL. and visiting a historic and museum of President Lincoln.
driving around the square and other places in Virginia, Illinois 7/10/10
This shows at least some of the small Illinois town of Virginia in Cass County, Illinois on July 10, 2010. Would have posted sooner but just discovered. As of the 2010 Census, the population was some 1600. This was a decrease from 1700 in 2000 and I'll bet it's even lower now. This is the county seat of Cass County. P.S. The population in 2020 was 1514 and it hasn't varied a lot from that since 1880. The town's nickname is Illinois' Gem on the Prairie.

Driving Around Small Town Harristown, IL in 4k Video
Filmed on Sunday, March 5, 2023, I drive around the village of Harristown, Illinois to see what's going on.
Harristown is a village in Macon County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,310 at the 2020 census. It is included in the Decatur, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The village was named in honor of Major Thomas L. Harris, who was elected and served as Major of the Fourth Illinois Regiment in the Mexican–American War, and who was afterward a member of Congress from 1849 to 1858.
The first settlers arrived in 1828 and began building log cabins and improving land around the area. 1841 saw the building of the township’s first schoolhouse, a log building, and served as both the school and as a place of worship until 1853 when the first church was built. Harristown was along the main line of the Wabash Railroad, which contributed to increased population and business.
Harristown was the first Illinois home of Abraham Lincoln. His family settled alongside the Sangamon River 4 miles south of the present village in 1830 for a little over a year before relocating due to the harsh winter and extreme sickness. Lincoln and his family constructed a log cabin and fenced in 10 acres of land, planting corn in the fenced land. During that winter, Lincoln, together with his stepmother's son, John D. Johnston, and John Hanks were hired by Denton Offutt to build a flatboat and navigate it from Beardstown, Illinois, down the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. It was during this time that Lincoln saw slavery first-hand for the first time.
Lincoln departed the Harristown area in the spring of 1831. Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park was created in 1904 and marks the spot where his cabin stood.
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,338 people, 511 households, and 402 families residing in the village. The racial makeup of the village was 98.88% White, 0.30% African American, 0.07% Native American, 0.07% Asian, and 0.67% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino people of any race were 0.30% of the population.
The median income for a household in the village was $42,946, and the median income for a family was $48,162. Males had a median income of $37,273 versus $23,750 for females. The per capita income for the village was $18,689. About 4.1% of families and 5.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 9.2% of those under age 18 and 3.5% of those age 65 or over. #driving #travel #drivingtour
