&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
Here is a story about Sugar Grove and the Underground Railroad. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
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. &#13;
&#13;
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year!&#13;

Thomas Judd had for some years favored the idea of an industrial school which would teach agriculture as well as preparatory to going on to other vocations.  He was also aware that Frank Hall, then Superintendent of West Aurora Schools, had similar ideas.  Thus it was that Thomas Judd, Henry Chapman, Silas Reynolds, Leonard Benjamin, and Lewis Gillette went to Mr. Hall and asked him to take charge of the new school if it could be built.&#13;
&#13;
An all day picnic was held in the maple grove on the Judd Farm on Tuesday May 28, 1875, with the announced purpose of discussing plans for the new school.  History records that 1,000 people attended and all were seated at a table of 168 feet long, and enjoyed a find meal.  The dinner was followed by a program and speakers.  One of the speakers was Professor Hall, and at the close of his speech, he called for donations. &#13;
&#13;
It took just 15 minutes to collect $1,400.00, plus subscriptions that brought that total to $2,200.00.  Subsequent subscriptions and the district tax, swelled the fund to $4,500.00.  Mr. Judd donated the land where the apartment house now stands across from the Methodist Church.  The school and a horse shed to accommodate 80 horses was build and the Sugar Grove Normal and Industrial School opened for classes in the fall of 1875.  The average attendance for the first year was 100, of which about 25 were local students.&#13;
&#13;
The curriculum at that time included Latin, General History, natural Philosophy, Grammar, Elements of Agricultural Science, Geometry, Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, English Literature and Music.  A teaching certificate was one  requirement of being awarded a Certificate of Graduation.&#13;
&#13;
The original industrial school burned to the ground in January 1905.  A brick veneer building was constructed in its place in 1906.&#13;
