Today we step away from Wilmington and travel up to New Lenox to look at a controversial structure that teaches historians to dig, dig, and dig to get to the truth.
The French Fort is located on W. Francis Road in New Lenox in Higginbotham woods. Harlow Higginbotham was a self-made millionaire who made his fortune with the Marshall Field family, and who was president of the 1893 Columbian Exposition. He built a mansion there and used it to showcase his fabulous collections of art, antiques and furniture.
