Thanks for another wonderful article. Where else could anybody get that kind of information in such an ideal way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I'm on the look for such information. fkedegcddkecgcdd

Back between 1958-61 my family ( the whole lot of us) had a picnic witch was on a Sunday noon. At that time my Great Uncle farmed the land that V.S. was on. I remember that there was s gold fish pond at the springs, and were 12 to 16 inches long. As for the hotel it was in dire shape from party goers and the like. We were told at that time that Abe Lincoln had made a peach at the hotel, and that it was a stage coach stopping point. At that time we had to carry the picnic baskets food and all from main road. Was a great place to visit, one could just imagine what took place 100 plus years ago. Good luck to WIU on rebuilding, it was a great place to visit.

Don't forget that it's just over a week from now that there will be an open house at Vishnu Springs. Sunday, October 13th, from 10 am to 4 pm. No admission fees.

Mark your calendar. This year's open house IS October 13th, Sunday from 10 - 4. There are not a lot of major changes at the site, but the Friends have been at work, dredging the pond. It had gotten so filled in, it was time.

It looks as though the revised date for an open house at Vishnu Springs will be Sunday, October 13, 2013.

Yes, the open house was cancelled today. I'm sorry I didn't get this posted earlier, but didn't have access to a computer - out at Vishnu, you know. The rain that they had out there last night made the drive messy and it was not good for people to walk the hill down to the hotel. We did't want to see anyone fall. So, we will reschedule for the fall.

The Vishnu Springs Open House is still on for June 30th from 10 - 4. The lilies are in full bloom and the frogs are vocal. Go north from Tennessee or south from Blandinsville on E350th to N1100, turn west and follow the road about three miles to the Vishnu Gate. The open house is free to the public.
