were rooftops,

there was open prairie, buffalo, roaming
free. This land carried stories long

before it carried a name. From Chief
Blackhawk and native tribes to the first
[0:16]
settlers building homesteads and
gathering at Glazer's General Store, a

foundation was forming. In 1926, a
vision became official. Richton Park was
