In an effort to capture the personalities and charms of communities in Illinois, John Lynn began a 40-year continuing project called “Main Street, Illinois.”
He will share his photos and stories about the small towns in Illinois at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15, at the Geneseo Library.
His program has been referred to as “a memorable and fun-filled tour of the charms, traditions, and personalities of Illinois towns, mostly small ones, told by the only person who has visited and photographed all 2,400 of them.
John Lynn, referred to as “the walking encyclopedia of Illinois” by WGN Radio, has photographed every one of these towns in the state. In addition, he has hiked, biked, and paddled enough historic and scenic trails, roads and rivers in both America and Britain to circle the globe.
