Prairie du Rocher ("Prairie of the Rock" in French) is a village in southwest Illinois - founded in the French colonial period of the American Midwest. The community is located near bluffs that flank the east side of the Mississippi River in the area that is often called the "American Bottom". Prairie du Rocher is Illinois's oldest town. It was founded in 1722 as a French settlement and it still survives into the 21st century. (Excerpt taken from http://www.greatriverroad.com/stegen/randattract/chartres.htm) |
