Fort Crevecoeur
Reconstructed 18th‑century French fort on the Illinois River — shoot timber palisades, earthworks, interpretive signs and river backdrop for historical context. Best at golden hour or overcast afternoons to bring out texture in wood and earth; sunrise gives calm river reflections. Site is small with limited parking at the roadside lot, easy walk from parking, free entry; expect minimal facilities and seasonal hours. Weekdays and early mornings reduce visitors; bring insect repellent in warm季.
