Sarah Travels to Orland Park

My name is Stephanie Schofield, today is October 11,2010 and I took Sarah to the Twin Towers Church located in Orland Park Illinois. We began our journey by taking a train to Homewood Illinois and then drove to my hometown of Orland Park. Sarah was kind of restless towards the end of the train ride but made lots of friends on the train. We traveled a total of 638 miles round trip, 37.717764,-89.222193 to 41.628776,-87.862428!
When we were finally finished traveling, we reached The Twin Towers Church in Orland Park, Illinois. The church was originally built in 1898 by Architect William Author Bennet. In 1989, the church was added to the National List of Historic Places. As we walked around the church, the most unique characteristic we saw is the is the two hexagonal towers at opposite corners, one of the only remaining churches in Illinois to have this unique architecture. We also learned that during the 1920's the church was the first place in Orland Park to show silent films. Before we left, Sarah and I took a picture on the steps of the church. After many attempts to take a picture (my dad could not figure out how to work my phone) we decided this was the best picture. We also decided to add another picture so you can better see the beautiful architecture of the church. Sarah and I enjoyed our trip, but after another six hour trip back to Carbondale, are happy to be finished traveling for the day!
