American towns change almost as fast as American fashions. When something of the old remains in this society it is a resource to be treasured. Such is the Village of Elsah, Illinois. Located just 40 minutes from St. Louis, Missouri, Elsah encourages its visitors to park and walk the streets of this town rich in history, architecture and beauty. It gives us a strong hint of the setting of nineteenth century life along the Mississippi River. Please take a few minutes out of the fast pace of everyday life and stroll through Elsah with us.
