If you have ever travel through Soldiers Grove, you cannot help but glance over at the old Grand Mansions in Grove. They are along Church Street and along Pine Street. Anyone who has been to this picturesque little river town along the Kickapoo will recognize the Old Oak Inn. It has been an establish bed & breakfast and restaurant-lounge for more than 20 years. Recently another home over on Pine, which appears to be a twin in architecture to the Old Oak building, has been freshly painted and rehabbed into The Roth House, B&B. After a year or so of intense work, this historic home looks like it is just about to open up for guests sometime this spring. The Peterson home, also on Church Street, was originally the residence of a local prominent physician. I had the privilege of selling this lovely home to its 3^rd owner only last year. Another great home, of which there seem to be no available information, is right next to river. Like they say, if only walls could talk, as there was nothing written about this one, of which I could find!
