It has lots of memories for millions of people.

When it was built, there were no cars, no TV, no radio, nothing. This land was all forest preserves. The entertainment at the time was dancing.

We have literally hundreds of personal memories from this place just from the people we have met. The most enjoyable part of it for me was seeing our guests enjoy our resort and being able to bring a little bit of happiness to their lives. It was really like a family reunion each summer.

It's important to keep the memories of all these people who died alive.

A lot of people have neat memories of here that add to the enjoyment of what they're coming to see,

We've had people literally walk by and drop flowers in the front of the building just because of the memories.
