Boger Bog and the Stickney Mansion

A few weeks back I took a quick sidetrip to Boger Bog, one of my favorie parks in Mchenry County.  It is a newer addition and worth a look if you are ever in the area.  Before the land was donated by the Boger Family it was used as a place that Frederic Boger stored random architectural components that he had scavenged from historic buildings in Chicago notably the Terra Cotta roofing which is from the 1933 World's Fair..  When it was converted to a park MCCD repurposed some of the materials to make the park structures but left most of them undisturbed which make for a neat park to explore and take photos.

Here are some pics from a previous trip.
