Illinois Live Steamers!

|
The Illinois Live Steamers was founded in 1967 as a place where live steamers could gather to share their interests in trains and enjoy outdoor miniature railroading. At that time, the members of the ILS decided to purchase two pieces of adjoining property, each 165 feet wide, totaling almost 7-1/2 acres of land. This property was formerly used as an apple orchard. Membership today exceeds 150 members in various membership categories. The ILS club grounds are private property and therefore, are not open to the general public! Fellow live steamers and those truly interested in the live steam and miniature railroading hobby are welcome.
