[+] Until the 1970s, this was a state park and contained the actual Williams house. After the state park was closed due to budget constraints, the cabin burned.

Williams picked one of the most beautiful spots on the Fox River for his house. (It was originally located on the river bank and moved to the top of the hill when the dams were constructed.)
