ELBURN – Driving on portions of Pouley Road near Elburn can produce feelings of having rolled back in time – or, at least, having driven into a different place. 

Now, Kane County historic preservation staff wants the county to make sure it stays that way for years to come.

The County Board is considering a request from preservation officials at the Kane County Office of Community Reinvestment to designate a stretch of Pouley Road – from Keslinger Road south to Hughes Road in Blackberry Township – as a “rustic road.”
