http://theprairiestater.blogspot.com/2011/08/old-gebhard-brewery-morris-il.html

Tuesday, August 2, 2011. The Old Gebhard Brewery (Morris, IL). As we've written here before. You never know what history lies right in your backyard.

Seneca, IL, is a small Illinois River town that sits in LaSalle County, IL (with a small portion in Grundy County), between the towns of Morris and Marseilles.
