Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove and the Underground Railroad Description An account of the resource Sugar Grove and the Underground Railroad Hello Again from the [Sugar Grove] Historical Society! Thank you to all those who stopped in for a visit during Holiday in the Grove. The winner of our holiday gift basket was Kay Woulfe! Thank you for stopping by and congratulations! This time of year it’s nice to remember the good in people and to be thankful for what we have. Here is a story about Sugar Grove and the Underground Railroad. It was around the 1840’s that the Kane County Anti-Slavery Association was organized. Many of the members resided in the Sugar Grove and Aurora townships. There were two routes that converged in Sugar Grove, and it was a secret among a local Sugar Grove family that they had an “active participant” right in their own home. They say the slaves that passed through the area were primarily from Missouri, although it is possible they traveled from the southern states along the Mississippi before reaching Missouri. Once they hit the Sugar Grove area, they would travel east on Prairie road which ended at that time at the farm of John Wagner, on South Lake Street in Aurora. Some slaves were directed which trail to take to stay safe and would walk at night so they were undetected. Sometimes they were given rides in wagons that had hidden compartments. Back then, there would often be a bounty on a slave of $1,000, making it a lucrative job to be a bounty hunter. It seemed to be that people who lived along the route here in the Sugar Grove area were aware of the slaves that were passing through during the night. Most Underground Railroad Station Masters felt the satisfaction of having helped slaves gain freedom far out-weighed the possibly of losing everything they possessed if they were caught. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove Community Building: Parlor, Gym, Kitchen, Banquet Hall Description An account of the resource From the Sugar Grove Township Website: https://www.townshipofsugargrove.com/community-building/ "The Sugar Grove Township Community Building, which maintains the same charm as it did when it opened in 1929, was built for the use of the residents of Sugar Grove Township." "For decades, it’s been home to many different public groups, including township, community-based organizations and other non-profits. Numerous Boy Scouts of America, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Homeowner’s Associations consider the building its regular meeting place, while generations of Sugar Grove residents have attended hundreds of public events, such as pancake breakfasts, spaghetti fundraisers, Holiday in the Grove and more." DINING ROOM "Our dining room can comfortably accommodate 200 guests seated at tables. For weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays and anniversaries, as well as business luncheons and corporate gatherings, our dining room is an unmatched affordable option. Plus, you can conveniently cater your event or prepare meals in our commercial-size kitchen." PARLOR "If you’re looking for a warm, comfortable and quaint place for a special celebration or a meeting, you’ll find it in our Parlor. We can comfortably accommodate 25 guests. With a large meeting table, sofas and comfy club chairs, as well as a piano and TV with DVD/VCR, you’ll have everything you need to host your next special event or meeting." MEETING ROOM "Thanks to our basement location and only a single window, you hopefully won’t have to worry about your next meeting being filled with distractions. Our meeting room can handle seating of 10 to 15 guests around table arrangements set up to suit your needs. You’re also welcome to use the large, old-school chalkboard!" GYMNASIUM "Remember the gym in the classic movie Hoosiers? We’ve got our own. In fact, ours was also built in the 1920s and has been home to generations of athletes. Take a trip down memory lane for pick-up basketball, dodgeball, and other games, as well as to work on your game with youth practices and to host karate tournaments, fitness and exercise classes and more." "Our gym is also a winner for non-athletic events. With a stage and a movie screen, it’s a great venue to show a movie and perform plays and live music. Clothing re-sales, health fairs, and rummage sales have also found a home in our gym in recent years." KITCHEN "Whatever your occasion, our kitchen will allow you to prepare a wonderful meal for your event or organize what you’re serving from a caterer."

Title A name given to the resource Sugar Grove Public Library: New Facility at 125 Municipal Dr. Subject The topic of the resource Library Description An account of the resource According to the Sugar Grove Public Library website: "The Sugar Grove Public Library began in 1962 with a donation of slightly under 500 books, and became a public tax supported institution in 1963. The first fully operational Library opened in 1980 in a 6,600 square foot facility. Due to a growing population and the need for space, updated facilities, emerging technology and desires for programming and civic space, voters voted YES for a new facility which opened in the current location at 125 South Municipal Drive in 2009." "The Library was previously housed in the current Township building and briefly in the Community House." Source: https://www.sgpl.org/library-history#:~:text=The%20Sugar%20Grove%20Public%20Library,a%206%2C600%20square%20foot%20facility. Photos from: Sugar Grove Public Library, Cordogan Clark & Associates Architects Sugar Grove Public Library "Sugar Grove Public Library, a 27,400 square foot library building, replaces a 6,600 square foot facility to better serve the population of Sugar Grove and parts of neighboring Montgomery and North Aurora. This facility is planned to serve the needs of this growing community for the next 10 to 15 years, with commensurate increases in collections, services,and programs. The library site is large enough to accommodate an additional 35,000 square feet of future expansion." "The architectural concept of Sugar Grove Public Library was derived from a public desire to reflect the rural roots of the community, rather than importing a vernacular design. Working together with the community and key library administrators, Cordogan, Clark and Associates and Leo A. Daly, the library design consultant for this project, analyzed several of the area's historic public buildings and farmhouses to distill an architectural vocabulary that most residents agree is appropriate and uniquely Sugar Grove. Architectural design, detailing, and materials create the sense that this building has long been a part of the community."

Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove IL 60554. It serves a 37 square mile radius area that serves a population of 16,114 residents from Sugar Grove, Montgomery, Aurora, North Aurora, and Elburn. The Library District serves Sugar Grove Township, and Blackberry Township south of Seavey Road, except those areas annexed by North Aurora to the northeast and Aurora to the east. As of 2022, the Library has 7,100 cardholders or 44% of the district population. In the 2021-2022 year, there were 45,368 visitors, 3,592 program attendees and 220 programs, and 122,000 materials circulated.
