Kelsea and Smokey visit the Historic Bell Hill.
The original owner, James Bell was an important timber producer during the Civil War. During the Civil War he supplied the north with timber from our very own Southern Illinois.The home is buried in the Shawnee National Forest and has been a resting place for many people including General Ulysses S. Grant. The grounds are also home to several boulders that have been carved out by Native Americans from the area and made into bowls, some of which are still at the house. The Historic Bell Hill Bed and Breakfast is now a popular wedding venue, but has made its mark in history.
