Columnist Dean Karau recalls Kewanee’s Centennial: 1854 to 1954 – A Century to Celebrate
Dean Karau
Star Courier columnist
(More than two years ago, I suggested that a small group of those interested in preserving Kewanee history could rotate researching and writing stories on our hometown for publication in the Star Courier. But the idea went nowhere.
Undeterred, I decided that I would commit to writing a weekly Kewanee history column. I hoped readers would enjoy learning a little bit more about our shared past. I also hoped I would learn more about the place I left in 1960 and to which I had seldom returned until I retired.

Star Courier
When the Star Courier asked Facebook readers this week about the condition of Kewanee streets, they were not shy in pointing out the roughest spots in town.
The Star Courier asked the question as part of a new feature that asks the community how they feel about a particular topic.
This week s question: Which street in Kewanee is in most need of repair and how does its condition affect you and your neighbors?
Kewanee residents had plenty to say on the topic, recounting tales of flat tires and vehicle damage over the years.
Cyndi Anderson said she thinks Madison Avenue is the hands-down worst route in Kewanee.
