LEIGHTON – COLBERT COUNTY – This is a special year for the LaGrange College site up on the mountain off Highway 243. This month marks the 150th anniversary of the burning of the college by the Federals in the Civil War.
Every year, the folks who organize the event work diligently to bring event guests a memorable experience. This year promises to be no different. To get there, take Highway 157 East just past County Line Road and look for the signs.
Last year, The Quad-Cities Daily was there, and you can see the story by clicking this LINK. Be sure to check out the video of the cannons!
