Introduction to my introduction to History Pin

Recently I had the good fortune to attend a lecture about historypin offered by the Peoria (Illinois) Historical Society and Osher Life Long Learning at Bradley University.  This peaked my interest in making an attempt to use historypin to share some photos and recollections of Beecher City, Illinois, my home village.

The connections between my interest in Beecher City and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are very strong.  The village had its start when the railroad came through the north west corner of Liberty Township, Effingham County, Illinois. 

My goal is to encourage others who have photos and recollections of historical interest related to Beecher City to share those via historypin
