Good Evening, Are there any churches in the area of Streator? Among other cities, this would include: Dwight, Cornell, Wenona, Grand Ridge? The Streator Times Press published a short history of the churches in their readership area in the 1950's. We have copies of the articles at the museum and I could make a copy for you.
