Gleanings of Archer Road

The history of Archer Road told here for the first time is a long and interesting story spanning from the time of the first Native Americans to the time this manuscript was written. It served as a portage route for native Americans and explorers an access road to monitor the building of the Illinois and Michigan Canal a stagecoach route and a host of other transportation purposes. Mr. Hamzik’s history will describe each of these uses in detail and enlighten the reader to the importance of this great transportation highway.
