Brinkman, Grover. Grover Brinkman's Southern Illinois. Pg. 99. House on Hickory Hill. This house in Gallatin County, Illinois, occupies an interesting place in the memories of many southern Illinoisians. For generations, starting in the 1920s, the owners opened it to the general public, giving tours and talking about its original owner, John Hart Crenshaw. He reportedly kidnapped free African Americans and sold them into slavery, the tour guides said. The backdrop for the dramatic stories was the third-floor attic decorated to look like a jail. The historical investigation suggests the rooms date from the Crenshaw era, but they may have been constructed to accommodate railroad passengers. Crenshaw planned to build a railroad that would pass beneath this house, according to one researcher. But the plan fell through. An architectural study determined the space once appeared as nice accommodations with freshly plastered white walls. The last owners allowed the space to deteriorate into a dark, forbidding space, then added bars and other props to suggest it was used to hold African Americans who would be sold into slavery. For 70 years, the family hosted tour buses, school field trips, and individuals passing through, including author and Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow. On Halloween 1996, the State of Illinois bought the property. As of today, 2023, the house remains closed and in disrepair. Yet, in 2010, the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency contracted with Southern Illinois University’s Center for Archaeological Investigations to study the house and yard. CAI contracted with my company, Oakview Road Media, to document the excavation and create this video. The house is a remarkable structure. As written in the narration, Hickory Hill survives from a pre-Civil War chapter of Illinois history. It’s a simple timber structure covered with clapboard siding, yet it has a certain appeal because of its location on a hill overlooking the Saline River floodplain.
