Bird Town

 On Friday we got in the truck and headed out to an antique store in Pittsfield, Illinois. Along the way we passed through Griggsville. Little bits of interest and history reside in the backroads of an Illinois region once known as Forgottonia. While some progress has come to the area it is still largely rural and forgotten. Here is Griggsville’s claim to fame. 

There are Purple Martin house all over town. This is the showpiece one downtown. 

What is special about Purple Martins?

My thought when I saw this was Griggsville must have a mosquito problem or at least had one in the past.
