“‘The Struggle to Stop the Oakley Dam’ will be the presentation at the next meeting of the Piatt County Historical and Genealogical Society, scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 1 in the FS meeting room at 427 W. Marion St., Monticello.
Bruce Hannon will tell the story behind the coalition of citizens — led by University of Illinois faculty members and Champaign conservationists to stop the dam — which would have flooded a portion of Allerton Park.”
