Local historian Bryan Ogg led us on a walking tour of historic Naperville highlighting and discussing 'Our Story in Stone'. Much of Naperville was built with locally quarried stone and this tour gave us the opportunity to look back in time at the foundations of our hometown. The tour took as around the 3 quarries near Centennial Beach, over to the Naperville Historic District, through downtown Naperville, and back to the Riverwalk. There was so much to see and hear that the tour was extended for a total of 3 hours. Please enjoy some photos taken by some of our participants.
Bryan is the author of Naperville: A Brief History, available at our Naperville local booksellers and on Amazon.
