"Long Grove is a unique village. Nestled between stands of oak and hickory trees nand slow-moving creeks, and surrounded by quiet farmland, it is an escape from the suburban sprawl that can be found a short drive in any direction. First settled in the 18302 by German immigrants, Long Grove served as a crossroads between Chicago and Milwukee, and many city dwellers pass through its signature covered bridge and into the village's charming early-1900s shopping districts to revisit that bygone era of American history. Old churches, barns, and businesses - along with the people whose hard work helped the village prosper - are captured in over 200 vintage photographs within the pages of 'Long Grove.'"
