There Is Still a Brickville Road in Sycamore, Illinois

I looked it up and found that there was still a Brickville Road in Sycamore.  From DeKalb, you take Illinois Highway 23 north to Peace Road in Sycamore, turn left and then take that a ways north until you get to Brickville Road which goes in both directions.

You turn left again and go several miles and you will get to North Grove School, a one-room schoolhouse, where many, if not all of the Beard children attended school.  It still stands and is a museum.

Once a year in June, they have an open house.
