There was an Army military installation in Marion, IL in the early 1940s (certainly in 1942). Does anyone know where it was? Is any of it still there, or what is there now? Thank you very much for your help. Sharon Bartholomew Anaheim, CA

I don't know about Army installations, but there was a Civilian Conservation Corps camp at the fairgrounds during the Great Depression.
