Whether the story of Priscilla and the hollyhocks and Brazilla Silkwood is true, the story was included in an elementary history book of Illinois. I have a copy of the book "Illinois Crossroad of the Nation". I had herd the story long before I saw the story in the book, so the story will probably continue to be told as fact, and whether the whole story is fact or not it was probably based on some truth. I don't think that it matters now if the story is true or not. There are a lot of feel good stories we tell our children and grandchildren today that are not really based on the whole truth. The book I have was used by my Aunt while attending Oakland school in Jefferson Co. IL. Oakland was a one room school that my dad and all 10 of his siblings attended. A few years back it was still standing but was used as a storage shed. I believe it was the Wilson family that owns it.

By the way, I've done some research on Priscilla Silkwood and the hollyhock legend. Most of it is just NOT true, but southern Illinois is steeped in her story and you can't change the tradition. Sheila According to the book "Franklin Co IL 1818-1997" pg 18, Brazilla SILKWOOD was said to have been an ardent opponent of Slavery. The inn was known as the "halfway house".
