Other things to note
Oregon, Illinois lies on the Rock River, a tributary of the Mississippi and was native to Potawatomi and Winnebago tribes. The town has ties to early American Feminist writer Margaret Fuller and was home to Lorado Taft’s Eagle’s Nest Art Colony.
This is an vintage home sitting in the middle of the woods and shares space with nature. While we strive to keep the space free of friendly insects, there is a chance you may encounter them indoors.
