Title A name given to the resource Bliss Woods Forest Preserve Caretaker's House Description An account of the resource This was the Caretaker's House for the Bliss Woods Forest Preserve located at 442 Bliss Road, Sugar Grove, Illinois. "The Chicago, Aurora & DeKalb Railway linked Sugar Grove to Aurora and DeKalb from 1902 to 1928. It started as gasoline driven cars - then went to steam and finally to electric cars. The present gate into the caretaker's residence of Bliss Woods Forest Preserve was the road bed and a stop for the passenger train." From "Sugar Grove, Illinois 1834 - 1984" by Ruth Frantz and Frank Damon. "The present path of the Virgil Gilman Nature Trail going through Bliss Woods Forest Preserve was the roadbed [for the Chicago, Aurora and DeKalb Railway.] The train had a stop in the woods." From "Sin-Qua-Sip: Sugar Grove, A History of Sugar Grove Township, Kane County, Illinois" by Patsy Mighell Paxton. "The Chicago, Milwaukee and Gary Railroad, a freight line, ran to the south of the Chicago, Aurora and DeKalb Railway. The two lines merged just north of Galena Blvd., before heading into Aurora. The entry to the [Village] Bible Church on Rte. 47 [at the location of the Bliss Woods Caretaker's House] was its road bed." From "Sin-Qua-Sip: Sugar Grove, A History of Sugar Grove Township, Kane County, Illinois" by Patsy Mighell Paxton. The Bliss Woods Caretaker's House was demolished as part of the project to widen the bridge on Bliss Road over Blackberry Creek. The resolution approving demolition was passed by the Kane County Board on June 13, 2017. The cost of the building demolition services was $23,400 plus $29,222.75 to pay for sanitary sewer disconnection.
