Antiques near Anna, IL

“If you love local history. If you’re doing any genealogy research for Southern Illinois. This is the place! They have a large selection of books on Southern Illinois. They have a large selection of books by local authors. They have new and old (used) books. They had books that I had never heard about. They also have a great selection of periodicals from various county historical societies. They also have a large selection of books on history and military history.

I visit about once a year just to shop this section. I always find so many books that I have a hard time deciding what I really need. It usually takes me an hour or more to look through all the books. And I walk out of there with a ton of research materials.”

“We stayed at the Shawnee Hill B&B in the Log Cabin suite in late August. The B&B is nested in a secluded, serene, in a wooded setting. The cozy and very romantic log cabin room has a large bath tub, large shower, a gas fireplace with remote control, TV, DVD player with DVDs to watch, a sofa, a dining table, an outdoor deck with a fire pit, a barbeque grill and outdoor seatings. The bathroom was filled with all the wonderful Bath & Body Works lotions, body spray and candles that you can think of. In the common area connected to the log cabin, you can find all kinds of sweets, snacks, teas and coffee to enjoy. The Inn Keeper, Rhea brought us an amazing and most delicious homemade breakfast on a huge tray in the morning. We got the visit Blue Sky and Star View Vineyards on Shawnee Wine Trail. We also did some hiking in Giant City and Ferne Clyff State Parks and enjoyed the peace and beautiful nature. Rhea was amazing and so easy to work with! We look forward to our next stay :)Nearby activities: Blue Sky and Star View Vineyards on Shawnee Wine Trail nearby.Nearby hiking trails in Giant City and Ferne Clyff State Parks.”
