Legend of Ondessonk

Vienna, IL

A memorial inside Camp Ondessonk, the southern Illinois Catholic youth camp founded in 1959 and named for the Huron name given to St Isaac Jogues, meaning bird of prey. Not an open roadside stop: the camp admits day hikers from mid-August to mid-May during set hours and closes the grounds entirely in summer.

Filed under folklore: stories a place tells about itself, passed down and still repeated.
