Ottawa, Mathieson State Park

Ottawa, Mathieson State Park

The caption on this unused “local” card is a bit defensive.  We find it amusing, so, exceptionally, we’re going to let you see it all here.  (Don’t blame us!):  “Just west of OTTAWA and east of LA SALLE-PERU, ILL., easily reached by U.S. Rt. 6 and Interstate 80.  The magnificent scenery in this park proves the fallacy of the opinion that Illinois is just a flat agricultural state.”  Personally, we find agriculture to be quite beautiful, and necessary.  Grade: 1
