Check out this historical look back at photos and artifacts from LeRoy Illinois. This LeRoy Illinois History collection Website contains approximately 600 photos and artifacts online.

Some highlights include:

  • A 1903 image of the ICRR depot
  • Several images of the 2005 demolition of Leroy High School
  • Photos and Info about Tim Hendryx, LeRoy's only Major League Baseball Player
  • LeRoy Church Postcards
  • 1911 Leroy Baseball team photo postcard

I do hope you will enjoy looking through my website. Any feedback would be just swell.

Thank You all, Jim Wilson Jr.


In appreciation for the thousands, who by their sweat, toil, tears and unceasing devotion, have forged this nation from a land of wilderness and raw, natural resources into a beautiful land with the finest communication systems in the world, beautiful homes, churches, libraries, streets, roads and a paradise for peaceful, pleasant living.

In gratitude and honored respect for the thousands, who by their sacrifice have given of their time, talents and lives on land and sea and air in our military forces, that we may enjoy peace, prosperity and freedom unparalleled in the entire history of man.

May we pledge that their example be a guide and inspiration for us in the years ahead.
