Title

Sketch: Old Barn on Galena Boulevard that contained wood from one of the first log cabins in Sugar Grove

Subject

Sketch was part of a calendar for the month of June 1988.

Description

Handwritten note on the sketch indicates:

The barn sketched in the drawing is believed to have contained logs from one of the first log cabins in Sugar Grove Township, which had been on the north side of Blackberry Creek in what became the T. & A. Judd Farm (Sec. 9, Sugar Grove Township), and which is now in the area of Bliss Woods Forest Preserve.

The barn in the sketch was located on Galena Blvd., 1/2 mile east of Illinois Route 47 on the north side in the area that is now Windsor Pointe East Subdivision.

The barn was located on the Dexter C. Judd estate (Section 15, Sugar Grove Township), which is spanned both the north and south sides of Galena Blvd.

***********

A description of the historic site of the first and second log cabins in Sugar Grove and the logs used in another structure can be found in the following resource as excerpted below:

“Past and Present of Kane County, Illinois. 1878” page 412:

“As Lyman Isbell, an older brother of Isaac and James, was expected, with their mother, sister and his own family, consisting of his wife and two children, a [second] log house was built, on a more ample plan, to receive them. It stood not far from the residence of P.Y. Bliss, and some of the logs from its walls are still in existence.”
