171 – Historic Peoria along the Riverfront
The plaque reads:
THE SITE OF OLD PEORIA. A EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT
IN THE ILLINOIS COUNTY WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE
FRENCH AT OR NEAR THIS PLACE
IN THE WINTER OF 1691 – ‘92
“tls1995″ and Chef Kevin were on it. Accessible by the hiking/biking trail just north of Detweiller Marina and just south of #86.
For the life of me, I can’t find the actual name of this place and since it’s only accessible by the trail, I can’t do a drive-by on the way to work. Anyone know what it’s called?

Well, it is on the river and there is a large green space… yea, it does kinda look like Detweiller GC…

It also looks like the park area just north of Detweiller Marina

The tombstone of the last golfer who created a scene during tournament play?

Is it one of the parks along the walking trail next to the River that runs from Detweiler Marina to the Riverfront?

It certainly is. When I update the post I’ll type out what the plaque actually says.
